              --header 'Authorization: Bearer temp' \
              --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
              --data-raw '{
                      "principal": "1",
                      "password": "1"
              }' | grep te_auth | awk '{print $NF}'
}
token=$(tetoken)

2. Create the application using the command below. Feel free to update the inline json as per your needs.

function create_te_app {
      token=$1
      curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:1426/thirdeye/entity?entityType=APPLICATION' \
              --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" \
