# Nodes HTTP API

The `/node` endpoints are used to query for and interact with client nodes.

Requests to these endpoints are always forwarded to and answered by Nomad
servers. The [`/client`](/nomad/api-docs/client) endpoints provide node
information that are answered directly by the Nomad client.

## List Nodes

This endpoint lists all nodes registered with Nomad.

| Method | Path        | Produces           |
| ------ | ----------- | ------------------ |
| `GET`  | `/v1/nodes` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `YES`            | `node:read`  |

### Parameters

- `prefix` `(string: "")`- Specifies a string to filter nodes based on an ID
  prefix. Because the value is decoded to bytes, the prefix must have an even
  number of hexadecimal characters (0-9a-f). This is specified as a query
  string parameter.

- `next_token` `(string: "")` - This endpoint supports paging. The `next_token`
  parameter accepts a string which identifies the next expected node. This
  value can be obtained from the `X-Nomad-NextToken` header from the previous
  response.

- `per_page` `(int: 0)` - Specifies a maximum number of nodes to return for
  this request. If omitted, the response is not paginated. The value of the
  `X-Nomad-NextToken` header of the last response can be used as the
  `next_token` of the next request to fetch additional pages.

- `filter` `(string: "")` - Specifies the [expression](/nomad/api-docs#filtering)
  used to filter the results. Consider using pagination or a query parameter to
  reduce resource used to serve the request.

- `resources` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether or not to include the
  `NodeResources` and `ReservedResources` fields in the response.

- `os` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether or not to include special attributes
   such as operating system name in the response.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    http://localhost:4646/v1/nodes
```

```shell-session
$ curl \
    http://localhost:4646/v1/nodes?prefix=f7476465

## List Node Allocations

This endpoint lists all of the allocations for the given node. This can be used to
determine what allocations have been scheduled on the node, their current status,
and the values of dynamically assigned resources, like ports.

| Method | Path                            | Produces           |
| ------ | ------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET`  | `/v1/node/:node_id/allocations` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required                   |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `YES`            | `node:read,namespace:read-job` |

### Parameters

- `:node_id` `(string: <required>)`- Specifies the UUID of the node. This must
  be the full UUID, not the short 8-character one. This is specified as part of
  the path.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    http://localhost:4646/v1/node/e02b6169-83bd-9df6-69bd-832765f333eb/allocations

## Create Node Evaluation

This endpoint creates a new evaluation for the given node. This can be used to
force a run of the scheduling logic.

| Method | Path                         | Produces           |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/node/:node_id/evaluate` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO`             | `node:write` |

### Parameters

- `:node_id` `(string: <required>)`- Specifies the UUID of the node. This must
  be the full UUID, not the short 8-character one. This is specified as part of
  the path.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    -XPOST \
    http://localhost:4646/v1/node/fb2170a8-257d-3c64-b14d-bc06cc94e34c/evaluate
```

### Sample Response

      "RPCMajorVersion": 1,
      "RPCMinorVersion": 1
    },
    {
      "Datacenter": "dc1",
      "RPCAdvertiseAddr": "10.138.0.3:4647",
      "RPCMajorVersion": 1,

      "RPCMajorVersion": 1,
      "RPCMinorVersion": 1
    }
  ]
}
```

## Drain Node

This endpoint toggles the drain mode of the node. When draining is enabled, no
further allocations will be assigned to this node, and existing allocations will
be migrated to new nodes. See the [Workload Migration
Guide](/nomad/tutorials/manage-clusters/node-drain) for suggested usage.

| Method | Path                      | Produces           |
| ------ | ------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/node/:node_id/drain` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO`             | `node:write` |

### Parameters

- `:node_id` `(string: <required>)`- Specifies the UUID of the node. This must
  be the full UUID, not the short 8-character one. This is specified as part of
  the path.

- `DrainSpec` `(object: <optional>)` - Specifies if drain mode should be
  enabled. A missing or null value disables an existing drain.

  - `Deadline` `(int: <required>)` - Specifies how long to wait in nanoseconds
    for allocations to finish migrating before they are force stopped. This is
    also how long batch jobs are given to complete before being migrated.

  - `IgnoreSystemJobs` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether or not to stop system
    jobs as part of a drain. By default system jobs will be stopped after all
    other allocations have migrated or the deadline is reached. Setting this to
    `true` means system jobs are always left running.

- `MarkEligible` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether to mark a node as eligible
  for scheduling again when _disabling_ a drain.

- `Meta` `(json: <optional>)` - A JSON map of strings with drain operation
  metadata that will be persisted in `.LastDrain.Meta`.

### Sample Payload

```json
{
  "DrainSpec": {
    "Deadline": 3600000000000,
    "IgnoreSystemJobs": true
  },
  "Meta": {
    "message": "drain for maintenance"
  }
}
```

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    -XPOST \
    --data @drain.json \
    http://localhost:4646/v1/node/fb2170a8-257d-3c64-b14d-bc06cc94e34c/drain
```

### Sample Response

```json
{
  "EvalCreateIndex": 0,
  "EvalIDs": null,
  "Index": 3742,
  "NodeModifyIndex": 3742
}
```

## Purge Node

This endpoint purges a node from the system. Nodes can still join the cluster if
they are alive.

| Method | Path                      | Produces           |
| ------ | ------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/node/:node_id/purge` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------ |
| `NO`             | `node:write` |

### Parameters

- `:node_id` `(string: <required>)`- Specifies the UUID of the node. This must
  be the full UUID, not the short 8-character one. This is specified as part of
  the path.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    -XPOST http://localhost:4646/v1/node/f7476465-4d6e-c0de-26d0-e383c49be941/purge
```

### Sample Response

```json
{
  "EvalCreateIndex": 3817,
  "EvalIDs": ["71bad787-5ab1-9939-be02-4809441583cd"],
  "HeartbeatTTL": 0,

```

## Toggle Node Eligibility

This endpoint toggles the scheduling eligibility of the node.

| Method | Path                            | Produces           |
| ------ | ------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/node/:node_id/eligibility` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).
