What Happens During Logout

​
Session Invalidation

The logout process will:
  1. Remove local tokens from your machine
  2. Require re-authentication for future CLI usage

​
Token Removal

The command removes authentication tokens stored locally in:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Preferences/@checkly/cli-nodejs/auth.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/@checkly/cli-nodejs/auth.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\@checkly\cli-nodejs\auth.json

​
After Logout

Once logged out, you’ll need to run checkly login before using other CLI commands that require authentication.
