wu-sheng opened a new pull request, #230:
URL: https://github.com/apache/skywalking-cli/pull/230
### What
Adds two flags to `swctl admin inspect entities`:
- `--value-column` — the metric's value column (e.g. `value`, `value_`,
`double_value`)
- `--value-type` — value data type (`LONG` / `INT` / `DOUBLE` / `LABELED`)
Both are passed through as query params to `GET /inspect/entities` and are
**required only when the metric is not defined on the target OAP** — i.e. a
metric persisted by *another* OAP that this node never loaded the
OAL/MAL/runtime-rule for.
### Why
SkyWalking OAP's inspect API was extended so `/inspect/entities` can inspect
a metric persisted by any OAP, even one the queried node does not define
locally. Since the value column/type cannot be recovered from the metric name
in that case, the caller supplies them. This change lets `swctl` drive that
foreign-metric path (otherwise the new capability is only reachable via raw
curl).
For a locally-defined metric the flags are ignored, so existing usage is
unchanged.
### Example
```
swctl admin inspect entities --metric meter_foo --value-column value
--value-type LONG \
--start "2026-06-23 0840" --end "2026-06-23 0900" --step MINUTE
```
