@ashish-bagri Congratulations for launching the MVP 🚀

I like the approach of having a simple and elegant CLI ✨

Here's some feedback after trying it out for the first time. I went through the Quickstart tutorial, but I used my own data file to simulate a log stream.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Python 3.10.14.

• I installed glassflow via the bash command given in the documentation (/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glassflow/cli/master/install.sh)"). The glassflow binary is created in my home directory, but I cannot run glassflow --version, I need to run /home/john/glassflow --version.

  

  

• When I created my first pipeline, I found the naming a bit confusing. The .env file requires the following variables: PIPELINE_ID, SPACE_ID, PIPELINE_ACCESS_TOKEN, but when creating the pipeline with the CLI, it mentions the "pipline name", "space name" and "Push token". I suppose PIPELINE_ID = pipeline name, SPACE_ID = space name, and PIPELINE_ACCESS_TOKEN = push token. 🤔

• I can see my pipeline with ./glassflow pipeline list, but /glassflow pipeline logs ingotestlogfile --space main says no logs are found, even though I think I published a few thousand events. When I run the consumer.py script, there is no error, but no events are consumed. I'm not sure, could be that I made a mistake. I'm not sure whether the issue is with publishing, transforming, or consuming. But there was no error message while I was publishing (i.e. pipeline_client.publish() returned status_code 200), so I assume the error is at the transformation or consuming stage.

  

• Finally a minor thing I noticed in the web UI: When I refresh the page I have to log in again.

@ingo-m Hi Ingo,

Thanks for using GlassFlow and providing very valuable feedback!

We will take quick actions and update the doc accordingly:)

Let us know if you find any other issues. I will be happy to assist.

@ingo-m According to your input, I have just updated the following docs to reflect changes:

Addtional guideline to move the GlassFlow CLI so it's accessible system-wide on Linux:

https://learn.glassflow.dev/docs/get-started/glassflow-cli#install-from-the-release-package

When you create a space or pipeline by providing a name, it will become a uniquely identifier ID for the space or pipeline. The space or pipeline can be accessed by its ID. Read more about the resource naming.

Thanks again for your contribution!

Hey @ingo-m,
We have deployed a new Version of the Webapp, which hopefully resolves the Authentication issue you faced, can you tell me if it is fixed for you now?

Hi @alexandertrefz,

Sorry it took me some time to get back to this. I tried again a few days ago and put quite a lot of events through the pipeline, it worked as expected. ✅

Thanks @ingo-m !
