# metalcloud-cli endpoint update

Update an existing endpoint

## Synopsis

Update an existing endpoint in MetalSoft.

You can update the endpoint by specifying new values for its name, label, or external ID using flags, 
or by providing a configuration file or piped JSON/YAML with --config-source. 
When using --config-source, the file or piped content must contain the fields to update in JSON or YAML format.

Arguments:
  endpoint_id    The unique identifier of the endpoint to update (required)

Optional flags:
  --name string              New name for the endpoint
  --label string             New label for the endpoint
  --external-id string       New external ID for the endpoint
  --config-source string     Source of configuration (file path or 'pipe')

Flag dependencies:
  - Flags are mutually exclusive with --config-source
  - At least one flag must be provided to update the endpoint
  - Only the fields provided will be updated

Examples:
  metalcloud-cli endpoint update 123 --name "new-name"
  metalcloud-cli endpoint update 123 --label "New Label" --external-id "new-ext-001"
  metalcloud-cli endpoint update 123 --config-source ./update.json
  cat update.yaml | metalcloud-cli endpoint update 123 --config-source pipe

```
metalcloud-cli endpoint update endpoint_id [flags]
```

### Options
