We have an open ticket SENTRY-1558 for the same thing “show groups” from Hive, but it’s blocked because Hive doesn’t support that syntax. This has been requested a few times in the past. Just adding an API call isn’t very user friendly for most other use cases. We can have Hive implement this on their side or we can add it to the CLI.
