# metalcloud-cli firmware-baseline search

Search firmware baselines by criteria

## Synopsis

Search firmware baselines by criteria.

This command allows you to search for firmware baselines using specific criteria
such as vendor, datacenter, server type, and component filters.
Search criteria are provided through a configuration file (JSON or YAML format).

The search can filter baselines by:
- Vendor (e.g., DELL)
- Datacenter locations
- Server types and OS templates
- Component filters for specific hardware

Use the 'search-example' command to see available search criteria and their format.

Required Flags:
  --search-source    Source of the search criteria (JSON/YAML file path or 'pipe')

Examples:
  metalcloud-cli firmware-baseline search --search-source ./search-criteria.json
  cat search.json | metalcloud-cli fw-baseline search --search-source pipe
  metalcloud-cli baseline search --search-source ./dell-baselines.yaml

Search criteria example (search-criteria.json):
{
  "vendor": "DELL",
  "baselineFilter": {
    "datacenter": ["datacenter-1"],
    "serverType": ["dell_r740", "dell_r640"],
    "osTemplate": ["ubuntu-20.04"],
    "baselineId": ["baseline-1"]
  },
  "serverComponentFilter": {
    "dellComponentFilter": {
      "componentId": "component-1"
    }
  }
}
