fm forward ​

Reference for the fm forward command group (auto-generated from fm forward --help).

fm forward ​

text
Forward a local TCP port to a managed database instance over a secure
session — no public IP, open port, or VPN required.

The remote port defaults to the instance's engine port (5432 for PostgreSQL,
3306 for MySQL) and only the engine port is allowed.

Sessions are time-limited by the platform: the forward ends after 10 minutes
of inactivity or 1 hour total.

Usage:
  fm forward <instance-id> <local-port>[:<remote-port>] [flags]

Examples:
  # Forward local port 15432 to the instance's engine port
  fm forward db-instance-id 15432

  # Explicit remote port
  fm forward db-instance-id 15432:5432

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for forward

Global Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.fm/config.yaml)
  -d, --debug           enable debug/verbose output
      --no-color        disable colored output
  -o, --output string   output format: table, json, yaml, wide (default "table")
  -q, --quiet           suppress non-essential output
      --tenant string   tenant ID to operate on (overrides the active/default tenant; also FM_TENANT)
