This page describes the complete set of command line options available for the Osmosis tool.

Global Options

Short Option Long Option Description
-v -verbose Specifies that increased logging should be enabled.
-v x -verbose x x is a positive integer specifying the amount of increased logging, 0 is equivalent to the -v option alone.
-q -quiet Specifies that reduced logging should be enabled.
-q x -quiet x x is a positive integer specifying the amount of increased logging, 0 is equivalent to the -q option alone.
-p <plugin_class> -plugin <plugin_class> Allows an external plugin to be loaded. <plugin_class> is the name of a class implementing the com.bretth.osmosis.core.plugin.PluginLoader interface. This option may be specified multiple times to load multiple plugins.

Default Arguments

Some tasks can accept un-named or "default" arguments. In the tasks description, the argument name will be followed by "(default)".

For example, the --read-xml task has a file argument which may be unnamed. The following two command lines are equivalent. 

osmosis --read-xml file=myfile.osm --write-null
osmosis --read-xml myfile.osm --write-null

Built-In Tasks

All tasks default to 0.6 versions from release 0.31 onwards.

0.6 tasks were first introduced in release 0.30. They can be explicitly specified by adding a "-0.6" suffix. 0.5 tasks can be specified by adding a "-0.5" suffix. 0.4 tasks were dropped as of version 0.22.

API Database Tasks

The tasks are to be used with the schema that backs the OSM API. These tasks support the 0.6 database only, and support both PostgreSQL and MySQL variants. It is highly recommended to use PostgreSQL due to the better testing it receives.

--fast-read-xml (no short option available)

0.6 only. As per the --read-xml task but using a STAX XML parser instead of SAX for improved performance. This has undergone solid testing and should be reliable but all xml processing tasks have not yet been re-written to use the new implementation thus is not the default yet.

--write-xml (--wx)

Writes data to an OSM XML file.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
file (default) The name of the osm file to be written, "-" means STDOUT. dump.osm
compressionMethod Specifies the compression method that has been used to compress the file. In most cases this isn't required because the compression method will be automatically determined from the file name (*.gz=gzip, *.bz2=bzip2). none, gzip, bzip2 none

Option Description Valid Values Default Value
file (default) The name of the osm change file to be read, "-" means STDIN. change.osc
enableDateParsing If set to yes, the dates in the osm xml file will be parsed, otherwise all dates will be set to a single time approximately equal to application startup. Setting this to no is only useful if the input file doesn't contain timestamps. It used to improve performance but date parsing now incurs low overhead. yes, no yes

See also : Osmosis#Extracting_bounding_boxes

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value

zoom Slippy map zoom 12
completeWays Include all available nodes for ways which have at least one node in the bounding box. yes, no no
completeRelations Include all available relations which are members of relations which have at least one member in the bounding box. yes, no no
idTrackerType Specifies the memory mechanism for tracking selected ids. BitSet is more efficient for very large bounding boxes (where node count is greater than 1/32 of maximum node id), IdList will be more efficient for all smaller bounding boxes. Dynamic breaks the overall id range into small segments and chooses the most efficient of IdList or BitSet for that interval. BitSet, IdList, Dynamic Dynamic
clipIncompleteEntities 0.6 only. Specifies what the behaviour should be when entities are encountered that have missing relationships with other entities. For example, ways with missing nodes, and relations with missing members. This occurs most often at the boundaries of selection areas, but may also occur due to referential integrity issues in the database or inconsistencies in the planet file snapshot creation. If set to true the entities are modified to remove the missing references, otherwise they're left intact. true, false false

If both lat/lon and slippy map coordinates are used then lat/lon coordinates are overriden by slippy map coordinates.

The clipIncompleteEntities was introduced in version 0.30 and changes default behaviour. It now defaults to false, but the previous behaviour was clipIncompleteEntities=true.

--bounding-polygon (--bp)

Extracts data within a polygon defined by series of lat/lon coordinates loaded from a polygon file.

The format of the polygon file is described at the MapRoom website, with two exceptions:

  • A special extension has been added to this task to support negative polygons, these are defined by the addition of a "!" character preceding the name of a polygon header within the file.
  • The first coordinate pair in the polygon definition is not, as defined on the MapRoom site, the polygon centroid; it is the first polygon point. The centroid coordinates are not required by Osmosis (nor are they expected but they won't break things if present and counted as part of the polygon outline).
  • An explicit example is provided on the Polygon filter file format page.
  • You can find some polygons for european countries at the OSM-Subversion

This filter will only be available with version >= 0.30 (or svn).

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
keyValueList Comma-separated list of desired key.value combinations N/A


--way-key (--wk)

Given a list of "key" tags, this filter passes on only those ways that have at least one of those tags set.

Note that this filter only operates on ways. All nodes and relations are passed on unmodified.

This filter is currently only available in svn.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
keyList Comma-separated list of desired keys N/A


--way-key-value (--wkv)

Given a list of "key.value" tags, this filter passes on only those ways that have at least one of those tags set.

Note that this filter only operates on ways. All nodes and relations are passed on unmodified.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
keyValueList Comma-separated list of desired key.value combinations highway.motorway,highway.motorway_link,highway.trunk,highway.trunk_link

--tag-filter (--tf)

Filters entities based on their type and optionally based on their tags. Can accept or reject entities that match the filter specification.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
filter mode (default) A two-field dash-separated string which specifies accept/reject behavior and the entity type on which this filter operates. accept-nodes, accept-ways, accept-relations, reject-nodes, reject-ways, reject-relations empty string

All keyword arguments are interpreted as tag parameters. They should be in the form "key=value" and specify which tags are matched by this filter. Each tag-filter task operates only on the specified entity type (passing other entity types through without touching them), and within that type accepts or rejects entities according to its tag parameters. If no tag parameters are specified, the filter matches all tags. Multiple values can be specified for one key, in a comma-separated list. A tag value list of * (a single asterisk) matches any value.

The separator character, equality character, and wildcard character ( , = * respectively) can be included in keys or values using the following escape sequences:

Escape sequence Replaced with
%a *
%c ,
%e =
%s space
%% literal '%' symbol

In practice, there are only limited circumstances where you absolutely must escape these characters:

  • = must be escaped in tag keys
  • , must be escaped in tag values
  • * only needs to be escaped for tag values that consist of a single *
  • % and space must always be escaped.

Example usage: 

osmosis \
  --read-xml input.osm \
  --tf accept-ways highway=* \ 
  --tf reject-ways highway=motorway,motorway_link \
  --tf reject-relations \
  --used-node \
  --write-xml output.osm

This will keep only ways with tag highway=(anything), then throw away those ways where tag highway is motorway or motorway_link. All relations are discarded, then all nodes which are not in the ways are discarded. The remaining entities are written out in XML.

You may need to work on two separate entity streams and merge them after filtering. If both inputs for the merge are coming from the same thread (e.g. using the tee task followed by the merge task), Osmosis will experience deadlock and the operation will never finish. One solution is to read the data in two separate tasks: 

../osmosis/bin/osmosis \ 
  --rx input.osm \
  --tf reject-relations \
  --tf accept-nodes amenity=* \
  --tf reject-ways outPipe.0=POI \
  \
  --rx input.osm \
  --tf reject-relations \
  --tf accept-ways highway=motorway \
  --used-node outPipe.0=motorway \ 
  \
  --merge inPipe.0=POI inPipe.1=motorway \
  --wx test-merge.osm

--used-node (--un)

Restricts output of nodes to those that are used in ways.

PostGIS Tasks

Osmosis provides a PostGIS schema for storing a snapshot of OSM data. All geo-spatial aspects of the data are stored using PostGIS geometry data types. Node locations are always stored as a point. Ways are related to nodes as in the normal API schema, however they may optionally have bounding box and/or full linestring columns added as well allowing a full set of geo-spatial operations to be performed on them.

To perform queries on this schema, see #Dataset Tasks.

The schema creation scripts can be found in the scripts directory within the osmosis distribution. These scripts are:

  • pgsql_simple_schema_0.6.sql - Builds the minimal schema.
  • pgsql_simple_schema_0.6_action.sql - Adds the optional "action" table which allows derivative tables to be kept up to date when diffs are applied.
  • pgsql_simple_schema_0.6_bbox.sql - Adds the optional bbox column to the way table.
  • pgsql_simple_schema_0.6_linestring.sql - Adds the optional linestring column to the way table.
  • pgsql_simple_load_0.6.sql - A sample data load script suitable for loading the COPY files created by the --write-pgsql-dump task.

Osmosis_PostGIS_Setup describes a procedure for setting up Postgresql/PostGIS for use with osmosis.

--write-pgsql (--wp)

Populates an empty PostGIS database with a "simple" schema. A schema creation script is available in the osmosis script directory.

The 0.5 schema is a one size fits all solution. The 0.6 schema has a number of optional columns and tables that can be optionally installed with additional schema creation scripts. This task queries the schema to automatically detect which of those features is installed.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes an entity stream.

--write-pgsql-dump (--wpd)

Writes a set of data files suitable for loading a PostGIS database with a "simple" schema using COPY statements. A schema creation script is available in the osmosis script directory. A load script is also available which will invoke the COPY statements and update all indexes and special index support columns appropriately. This option should be used on large import data (like the planet file), since it is much faster than --write-pgsql

API Tasks

These tasks provide the ability to interact directly with the OSM API. This is the API that is used directly by editors such as JOSM.

Dataset Tasks

Dataset tasks are those that act on on the generic dataset interface exposed by several data stores. For example the #PostGIS Tasks. These tasks allow data queries and data manipulation to be performed in a storage method agnostic manner.


--dataset-bounding-box (--dbb)

Extracts data within a specific bounding box defined by lat/lon coordinates. This differs from the --bounding-box task in that it operates on a dataset instead of an entity stream, in other words it uses the features of the underlying database to perform a spatial query instead of examining all nodes in a complete stream.

This implementation will never clip ways at box boundaries, and depending on the underlying implementation may detect ways crossing a box without having any nodes within that box.

Pipe Description
inPipe.0 Consumes a dataset.
outPipe.0 Produces an entity stream.


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
left The longitude of the left edge of the box. -180 to 180 -180

Replication Tasks

These tasks are used for replicating changes between data stores. They typically work with change streams and can therefore be coupled with other change stream tasks depending on the job to be performed.

There are two major types of change files:

  • Delta - Contain minimal changes to update a dataset. This implies a maximum of 1 change per entity.
  • Full-History - Contain the full set of historical changes. This implies that there may be multiple changes per entity.

All tasks support the "delta" style of changesets. Some tasks do not support the "full-history" change files.

--read-change-interval (--rci)

Retrieves a set of change files from a server, merges them into a single stream, and tracks the current timestamp.

The changes produced by this task are typically delta changes.

Pipe Description
outPipe.0 Produces a change stream.

Pipe Description
n/a


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
workingDirectory (default) The directory to populate with state and config files. (current directory)

Note: This will create a configuration.txt and a download.lock file in the <workingDirectory>. Then you need to manually edit the configuration.txt file and change the url to the one of minute or hourly replicate (eg : baseUrl=https://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate for the web or baseUrl=file:///your/replicate-folder for local filesystem)

If no state.txt file exists, the first invocation will result in the latest state file being downloaded. If you wish to start from a known point you need to download from https://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate the state file of the start date you want for your replication put it into your <workingDirectory> with name state.txt. You can use the replicate-sequences tool to find a matching file. Take one at least an hour earlier than your start date to avoid missing changes.

--merge-replication-files (--mrf)

Option Description Valid Values Default Value
workingDirectory (default) The directory containing the state and config files. (current directory)


--merge-replication-files-init (--mrfi)

Initialises a working directory to contain files necessary for use by the --merge-replication-files task. This task must be run once to create the directory structure and the configuration file manually edited to contain the required settings.

Pipe Description
n/a


Option Description Valid Values Default Value
workingDirectory (default) The directory to populate with state and config files. (current directory)

Note: This will create a configuration.txt and a download.lock file in the <workingDirectory>. Then you need to manually edit the configuration.txt file and change the url to the one of minute or hourly replicate (eg : baseUrl=https://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate for the web or baseUrl=file:///your/replicate-folder for local filesystem) You will need to edit the configuration file to specify the time interval to group changes by.

If no state.txt file exists, the first invocation will result in the latest state file being downloaded. If you wish to start from a known point you need to download from https://planet.openstreetmap.org/minute-replicate the state file of the start date you want for your replication put it into your <workingDirectory> with name state.txt. You can use the replicate-sequences tool to find a matching file. Take one at least an hour earlier than your start date to avoid missing changes.

--replicate-apidb (--repa)

This task provides replication files for consumers to download. It is primarily run against the production API database with the results made available on the planet server.

The first time this task runs it will initialise the working directory with the current state of the database server. Every subsequent invocation will read all changes since the last invocation and write the results to the output. All changes will be sorted by type, then id, then version.

--read-replication-lag (--rrl)

This Task takes the state.txt in an replication working directory and compares its timestamp (that's the timestamp of the last chunk of that that osmosis downloaded) with the timestamp of the servers state.txt (that's the timestamp of the last chunk of that that the server has produced). It then calculates the difference and prints it to stdout. In order to get only the printed value its often useful to pipe the log messages on stderr to /dev/null.

a sample invocation may look like 

osmosis --read-replication-lag humanReadable=yes workingDirectory=/osm/diffs 2>/dev/null
Pipe Description
n/a


Option Description Valid Values Default Value

The current simplify task takes no options

Database Login Credentials

All database tasks accept a minimum of four arguments, these are:

  • authFile
  • host
  • database
  • user
  • password
  • dbType

If no arguments are passed, then the default values for host, database, user and password apply.

If authFile is supplied, it must point to a properties file with name value pairs specifying host, database, user and password. For example:

host=localhost
database=osm
user=osm
password=mypassword
dbType=postgresql

Note that the properties file doesn't have to contain all parameters, it may contain only the password leaving other parameters to be specified on the command line separately.

Command line arguments override the authFile parameters, which in turn override the default argument values.

Munin Plugin

Together with the --read-replication-lag-Task Osmosis 0.36 contains a munin plugin that graphs the replication lag, that's the time difference between the local state-file and the state of the server.

To enable it, locate the munin files in your distribution. They are located in a subdir named "script/munin/" and follow the following instructions:

  1. copy "osm-replication-lag" to "/usr/share/munin/plugins"
  2. make "/usr/share/munin/plugins/osm-replication-lag" executable
  3. symlink "/usr/share/munin/plugins/osm-replication-lag" to "/etc/munin/plugins"
  4. copy "osm-replication.conf" to "/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d"
  5. edit "/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/osm-replication.conf" and set the workingDirectory
  6. restart the munin-node
