# Command: node status

The `node status` command is used to display information about client nodes. A
node must first be registered with the servers before it will be visible in this
output.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad node status [options] [node]
```

If no node ID is passed, then the command will enter "list mode" and dump a
high-level list of all known nodes. This list output contains less information
but is a good way to get a bird's-eye view of things.

If there is an exact match based on the provided node ID or prefix, then that
particular node will be queried, and detailed information will be displayed,
including resource usage statistics. Otherwise, a list of matching nodes and
information will be displayed. If running the command on a Nomad Client, the
`-self` flag is useful to quickly access the status of the local node.

If ACLs are enabled, this option requires a token with the 'node:read'
capability.

## General Options

@include 'general_options_no_namespace.mdx'

## Status Options

- `-self`: Query the status of the local node.

- `-stats`: Display detailed resource usage statistics.

- `-allocs`: When a specific node is not being queried, shows the number of
  running allocations per node.

- `-short`: Display short output. Used only when querying a single node.

- `-verbose`: Show full information.

- `-json` : Output the node in its JSON format.

- `-t` : Format and display node using a Go template.

## Examples

List view:

```shell-session
$ nomad node status
ID        DC   Name   Class   Drain  Eligibility  Status
a72dfba2  dc1  node1  <none>  false  eligible     ready
1f3f03ea  dc1  node2  <none>  false  eligible     ready
```

List view, with running allocations:

```shell-session
$ nomad node status -allocs
ID        DC   Name   Class   Drain  Eligibility  Status  Running Allocs
4d2ba53b  dc1  node1  <none>  false  eligible     ready   1
34dfba32  dc1  node2  <none>  false  eligible     ready   3
```

Single-node view in short mode:

```shell-session
$ nomad node status -short 1f3f03ea
ID     = c754da1f
Name   = nomad
Class  = <none>
DC     = dc1
Drain  = false
Status = ready
Uptime = 17h2m25s

Allocations
ID        Eval ID   Job ID   Task Group  Desired Status  Client Status
0b8b9e37  8bf94335  example  cache       run             running
```

Full output for a single node:

```shell-session
$ nomad node status 1f3f03ea
ID     = c754da1f
Name    = nomad-server01
Class   = <none>
DC      = dc1
Drain   = false
Status  = ready
Uptime  = 17h42m50s

```shell-session

```

You will note that in the above examples, the **Allocations** output contains
columns labeled **Desired Status** and **Client status**.

Desired Status represents the goal of the scheduler on the allocation with
the following valid statuses:

- _run_: The allocation should run
- _stop_: The allocation should stop

Client Status represents the emergent state of the allocation and include
the following:

- _pending_: The allocation is pending and will be running

- _running_: The allocation is currently running

- _complete_: The allocation was running and completed successfully

- _failed_: The allocation was running and completed with a non-zero exit code

- _lost_: The node that was running the allocation has failed or has been
  partitioned

Using `-stats` to see detailed to resource usage information on the node:

```shell-session
$ nomad node status -stats c754da1f
ID     = c754da1f
Name   = nomad-client01
Class  = <none>
DC     = dc1
Drain  = false
Status = ready
