After the v4.1 / CamundaCon release introduced the C8 Ops CLI direction, v4.2.0 pushes it deeper into real Camunda 8 operations.
c8volt is an independent Camunda 8 CLI for operators, developers, support engineers, CI pipelines, and agents that need reliable terminal workflows for inspection, repair, cleanup, verification, and automation.
The focus in v4.2.0 is runtime visibility and ops workflows:
- 55 commands across deploy, run, get, walk, update, resolve, cancel, delete, config, capabilities, and ops
- new `ops analyse slow-process-instances`
- runtime element inspection with `get element`
- process-instance enrichment with `get process-instance --with-elements`
- listener-job context with `--with-listeners`
- process tree traversal with runtime elements
- retention cleanup, incident repair, purge workflows, dry-run planning, JSON output, and script-safe command behavior
The main new ops command is:
`c8volt ops analyse slow-process-instances`
It combines process-instance discovery, runtime element timing, duration filters, hotspot summaries, and optional listener-job context so slow process instances can be diagnosed from the CLI without manually stitching several API reads together.
The idea is still the same:
low-level commands do work
`c8volt ops` finishes workflows
