</p>
<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p><strong>knife</strong> <strong>data bag</strong> <em>sub-command</em> <em>(options)</em></p>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Data bags are stores of arbitrary JSON data. Each data bag is a
collection that may contain many items. Data Bag Items are indexed by
the Chef Server and can be searched via <strong>knife-search</strong>(1).</p>
<p>Data bags are available to all nodes configured by <strong>chef-client</strong>(8),
and are therefore a convenient mechanism to store global information,
such as lists of administrative accounts that should be configured on
all hosts.</p>
<h2 id="DATA-BAG-SUB-COMMANDS">DATA BAG SUB-COMMANDS</h2>
<h2 id="CREATE">CREATE</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag create</strong> <em>bag name</em> [item id] <em>(options)</em></p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-s</code>, <code>--secret SECRET</code></dt><dd>A secret key used to encrypt the data bag item. See <strong>encryption support</strong> below.</dd>
<dt><code>--secret-file SECRET_FILE</code></dt><dd>The path to a file containing the secret key to be used to encrypt
the data bag item.</dd>
</dl>
<p>If <em>item id</em> is given, creates a new, empty data bag item and opens it for
editing in your editor. The data bag will be created if it does not
exist.</p>
<p>If <em>item id</em> is not given, the data bag will be created.</p>
<h2 id="DELETE">DELETE</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag delete</strong> <em>bag name</em> [item id] <em>(options)</em></p>
<p>Delete a data bag, or an item from a data bag.</p>
<h2 id="EDIT">EDIT</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag edit</strong> <em>bag name</em> <em>item id</em> <em>(options)</em></p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-s</code>, <code>--secret SECRET</code></dt><dd>A secret key used to encrypt the data bag item. See <strong>encryption support</strong> below.</dd>
<dt><code>--secret-file SECRET_FILE</code></dt><dd>The path to a file containing the secret key to be used to encrypt
the data bag item.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Edit an item in a data bag.</p>
<h2 id="FROM-FILE">FROM FILE</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag from file</strong> <em>bag name</em> <em>file</em> <em>(options)</em></p>
<p><strong>knife data bag from file</strong> <em>bag name</em> <em>file1</em> <em>file2</em> <em>file3</em> <em>(options)</em></p>
<p><strong>knife data bag from file</strong> <em>bag name</em> <em>folder</em> <em>(options)</em></p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-s</code>, <code>--secret SECRET</code></dt><dd>A secret key used to encrypt the data bag item. See <strong>encryption support</strong> below.</dd>
<dt><code>--secret-file SECRET_FILE</code></dt><dd>The path to a file containing the secret key to be used to encrypt
the data bag item.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Load a data bag item from a JSON file. If <em>file</em> is a relative or
absolute path to the file, that file will be used. Otherwise, the <em>file</em>
parameter is treated as the base name of a data bag file in a Chef
repository, and <code>knife</code> will search for the file in
<code>./data_bags/bag_name/file</code>. For example <code>knife data bag from file users
dan.json</code> would attempt to load the file <code>./data_bags/users/dan.json</code>.</p>
<h2 id="LIST">LIST</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag list</strong> <em>(options)</em></p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-w</code>, <code>--with-uri</code></dt><dd>Show corresponding URIs</dd>
</dl>
<p>Lists the data bags that exist on the Chef Server.</p>
<h2 id="SHOW">SHOW</h2>
<p><strong>knife data bag show BAG [ITEM]</strong> <em>(options)</em></p>
<dl>
<dt><code>-s</code>, <code>--secret SECRET</code></dt><dd>A secret key used to encrypt the data bag item. See <strong>encryption support</strong> below.</dd>
<dt><code>--secret-file SECRET_FILE</code></dt><dd>The path to a file containing the secret key to be used to encrypt
the data bag item.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Show a specific data bag or an item in a data bag. The output will be
formatted according to the --format option.</p>
<h2 id="ENCRYPTION-SUPPORT">ENCRYPTION SUPPORT</h2>
<p>Data Bag Items may be encrypted to keep their contents secret. This may
be desireable when storing sensitive information such as database
passwords, API keys, etc.</p>
<p>Data Bag Item encryption uses the AES-256 CBC symmetric key algorithm.</p>
<p><strong>CAVEATS:</strong> Keys are not encrypted; only values are encrypted. The "id"
of a Data Bag Item is not encrypted, since it is used by Chef Server to
store the item in its database. For example, given the following data bag item:</p>
<pre><code>{"id": "important_passwords", "secret_password": "opensesame"}
</code></pre>
<p>The key "secret_password" will be visible to an evesdropper, but the
value "opensesame" will be protected. Both the key "id" and its value
"important_passwords" will be visible to an evesdropper.</p>
<p>Chef Server does not provide a secure mechanism for distributing
encryption keys.</p>
