Insights Hub CF backing services - Update-service command - Please provide a valid JSON...

This command provided by the documentation Restart Stopped Instances:

cf update-service <serviceName> -c '{"max_disk_threshold": "90"}'

It returns an invalid configuration error message:

PS C:\Users\ocs1oh\projects\Java_test> cf update-service Asset_App_Test_Service -c '{"max_disk_threshold": "90"}'
FAILED
Invalid configuration provided for -c flag. Please provide a valid JSON object or path to a file containing a valid JSON object.

Solution

You can use a JSON file as indicated on the CF page and this should always work:

cf update-service SERVICE_INSTANCE -c PATH_TO_FILE

For example, if you are in the location of the JSON file: 

cf update-service <service_instance>-c instance_config.json

To confirm the sevice_instance , run the CF services command and use the service name from your application.

Use a text editor and save this content of the JSON file to change the threshold to 90%: 

{"max_disk_threshold": "90"}

Notes

As state in the documentation:

This is only a temporary solution. The service instance is stopped when the threshold is reached again. For a long-term solution, the service instance must be updated to a larger plan size if available.
