Command: ui

The ui command is used to open the Nomad Web UI.

Usage

nomad ui [options] <identifier>

The ui command can be called with no arguments, in which case the UI homepage will be opened in the default browser.

An identifier may be provided, in which case the UI will be opened to view the details for that object. Supported identifiers are jobs, allocations and nodes.

If ACLs are enabled, the web UI will start in an unauthenticated state and you may see a 403 Unauthorized page if anonymous read access is denied. The nomad ui -authenticate option will exchange your command line client's Nomad ACL token for a one-time token, which is passed to the web UI. That one-time token will be exchanged for your Nomad ACL token and stored in the browser's local storage for authentication.

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 '*', job and alloc subcommands 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.

UI Options

  • -authenticate: Exchange your Nomad ACL token for a one-time token in the web UI.

  • -show-url: Show the Nomad UI URL instead of opening with the default browser.

Examples

Open the UI homepage:

$ nomad ui
Opening URL "http://127.0.0.1:4646"

Open the UI directly to look at a job:

$ nomad ui redis-job
http://127.0.0.1:4646/ui/jobs/redis-job

Open the UI directly to look at an allocation:

$ nomad ui d4005969
Opening URL "http://127.0.0.1:4646/ui/allocations/d4005969-b16f-10eb-4fe1-a5374986083d"

Open the UI and authenticate using your ACL token:

$ NOMAD_ACL_TOKEN=e9674b26-763b-4637-a28f-0df95c53cdda nomad ui -authenticate
Opening URL "http://127.0.0.1:4646" with token

Show the UI URL without opening the browser:

$ nomad ui -show-url
URL for web UI: http://127.0.0.1:4646
