# Consul Catalog List Nodes

Command: `consul catalog nodes`

The `catalog nodes` command prints all known nodes and metadata about them.
It can also query for nodes that match a particular metadata or provide a
particular service.

## Examples

List all nodes:

```text
$ consul catalog nodes
Node       ID        Address    DC
worker-01  1b662d97  10.4.5.31  dc1
```

Print detailed node information such as tagged addresses and node metadata:

```text
$ consul catalog nodes -detailed
Node       ID                                    Address    DC   TaggedAddresses               Meta
worker-01  1b662d97-8b5c-3cc2-0ac0-96f55ad423b5  10.4.5.31  dc1  lan=10.4.5.31, wan=10.4.5.31
```

List nodes which provide the service name "web":

```text
$ consul catalog nodes -service=web
Node       ID                                    Address    DC   TaggedAddresses               Meta
worker-01  1b662d97-8b5c-3cc2-0ac0-96f55ad423b5  10.4.5.31  dc1  lan=10.4.5.31, wan=10.4.5.31
```

Sort the resulting node list by estimated round trip time to worker-05:

```text
$ consul catalog nodes -near=web-05
Node       ID                                    Address     DC   TaggedAddresses                Meta
worker-01  1b662d97-8b5c-3cc2-0ac0-96f55ad423b5  10.4.5.31   dc1  lan=10.4.5.31, wan=10.4.5.31
worker-02  d407a592-e93c-4d8e-8a6d-aba853d1e067  10.4.4.158  dc1  lan=10.4.4.158, wan=10.4.4.158
```

## Usage

Usage: `consul catalog nodes [options]`

#### API Options

<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_client" %>
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_server" %>

#### Catalog List Nodes Options

- `-detailed` - Output detailed information about the nodes including their
  addresses and metadata.

- `-near=<string>`- Node name to sort the node list in ascending order based on
  estimated round-trip time from that node. Passing `"_agent"` will use this
  agent's node for sorting.

- `-node-meta=<key=value>` - Metadata to filter nodes with the given key=value
  pairs. This flag may be specified multiple times to filter on multiple sources
  of metadata.

- `-service=<id or name>` - Service id or name to filter nodes. Only nodes
  which are providing the given service will be returned.
