Command: job inspect

Alias: nomad inspect

The job inspect command is used to inspect the content of a submitted job.

Usage

nomad job inspect [options] <job>

The job inspect command requires a single argument, a submitted job's name, and will retrieve the JSON version of the job. This JSON is valid to be submitted to the Job HTTP API. This command is useful to inspect what version of a job Nomad is running.

When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the read-job capability for the job's namespace. The list-jobs capability is required to run the command with a job prefix instead of the exact job ID.

General Options

-address=<addr>: The address of the Nomad server. Overrides the NOMAD_ADDR environment variable if set. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:4646.
-region=<region>: The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Overrides the NOMAD_REGION environment variable if set. Defaults to the Agent's local region.
-namespace=<namespace>: The target namespace for queries and actions bound to a namespace. Overrides the NOMAD_NAMESPACE environment variable if set. If set to '*', subcommands which support this functionality query all namespaces authorized to user. Defaults to the "default" namespace.
-no-color: Disables colored command output. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_NO_COLOR may be set. This option takes precedence over -force-color.
-force-color: Forces colored command output. This can be used in cases where the usual terminal detection fails. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_FORCE_COLOR may be set. This option has no effect if -no-color is also used.
-ca-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. Overrides the NOMAD_CACERT environment variable if set.
-ca-path=<path>: Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both -ca-cert and -ca-path are specified, -ca-cert is used. Overrides the NOMAD_CAPATH environment variable if set.
-client-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Nomad server. Must also specify -client-key. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_CERT environment variable if set.
-client-key=<path>: Path to an unencrypted PEM encoded private key matching the client certificate from -client-cert. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_KEY environment variable if set.
-tls-server-name=<value>: The server name to use as the SNI host when connecting via TLS. Overrides the NOMAD_TLS_SERVER_NAME environment variable if set.
-tls-skip-verify: Do not verify TLS certificate. This is highly not recommended. Verification will also be skipped if NOMAD_SKIP_VERIFY is set.
-token: The SecretID of an ACL token to use to authenticate API requests with. Overrides the NOMAD_TOKEN environment variable if set.

Inspect Options

-version: Display only the job at the given job version.
-json : Output the job in its JSON format. Cannot be used with -hcl.
-hcl: Output the original HCL submitted with the job. Cannot be used with -json.
-with-vars: Include the original HCL2 variables submitted with the job. Can only be used with -hcl.
-t : Format and display the job using a Go template.
