Connect to Cassandra

You can connect to Cassandra from the same server. Obtain the password from the dashboard for your server.

$ cqlsh -u cassandra

This will connect you to the Cassandra console and display a prompt. Once connected, you can run cqlsh commands to create and populate data. For example, the command below lists available keyspaces:

cassandra@cqlsh> describe keyspaces
system_traces  system_schema  system_auth  system  system_distributed

You can learn more about Cassandra in the Cassandra Getting Started guide.
