# Job Specification
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
This guide covers the JSON syntax for submitting jobs to Nomad. A useful command
2016-10-28 03:01:11 +00:00
for generating valid JSON versions of HCL jobs is
`nomad run -output <job.nomad>` which will emit a JSON version of the job.
## JSON Syntax
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
Below is an example of a JSON object that submits a `periodic` job to Nomad:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00

## Syntax Reference
Following is a syntax reference for the possible keys that are supported
and their default values if any for each type of object.
### Job
The `Job` object supports the following keys:
* `AllAtOnce` - Controls if the entire set of tasks in the job must
be placed atomically or if they can be scheduled incrementally.
This should only be used for special circumstances. Defaults to `false`.
* `Constraints` - A list to define additional constraints where a job can be
run. See the constraint reference for more details.
* `Datacenters` - A list of datacenters in the region which are eligible
for task placement. This must be provided, and does not have a default.
* `TaskGroups` - A list to define additional task groups. See the task group
reference for more details.
* `Meta` - Annotates the job with opaque metadata.
2017-01-26 06:15:00 +00:00
* `ParameterizedJob` - Specifies the job as a paramterized job such that it can
be dispatched against. The `ParamaterizedJob` object supports the following
attributes:
* `MetaOptional` - Specifies the set of metadata keys that may be provided
when dispatching against the job as a string array.
* `MetaRequired` - Specifies the set of metadata keys that must be provided
when dispatching against the job as a string array.
* `Payload` - Specifies the requirement of providing a payload when
dispatching against the parameterized job. The options for this field are
2017-01-26 19:31:47 +00:00
"optional", "required" and "forbidden". The default value is "optional".
2017-01-26 06:15:00 +00:00
* `Payload` - The payload may not be set when submitting a job but may appear in
a dispatched job. The `Payload` will be a base64 encoded string containing the
2017-01-26 19:31:47 +00:00
payload that the job was dispatched with. The `payload` has a **maximum size
of 16 KiB**.
2017-01-26 06:15:00 +00:00
* `Priority` - Specifies the job priority which is used to prioritize
scheduling and access to resources. Must be between 1 and 100 inclusively,
and defaults to 50.
* `Region` - The region to run the job in, defaults to "global".
* `Type` - Specifies the job type and switches which scheduler
is used. Nomad provides the `service`, `system` and `batch` schedulers,
and defaults to `service`. To learn more about each scheduler type visit
[here](/docs/runtime/schedulers.html)
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
* `Update` - Specifies the task's update strategy. When omitted, rolling
updates are disabled. The `Update` object supports the following attributes:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
* `MaxParallel` - `MaxParallel` is given as an integer value and specifies
the number of tasks that can be updated at the same time.
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
* `Stagger` - `Stagger` introduces a delay between sets of task updates and
is given in nanoseconds.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
An example `Update` block:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Update": {
"MaxParallel" : 3,
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
"Stagger" : 10000000000
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
}
}
```
* `Periodic` - `Periodic` allows the job to be scheduled at fixed times, dates
or intervals. The periodic expression is always evaluated in the UTC
timezone to ensure consistent evaluation when Nomad Servers span multiple
2016-06-28 17:33:48 +00:00
time zones. The `Periodic` object is optional and supports the following attributes:
* `Enabled` - `Enabled` determines whether the periodic job will spawn child
jobs.
2017-02-15 22:37:06 +00:00
* `time_zone` - Specifies the time zone to evaluate the next launch interval
against. This is useful when wanting to account for day light savings in
various time zones. The time zone must be parsable by Golang's
[LoadLocation](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#LoadLocation). The default is
UTC.
* `SpecType` - `SpecType` determines how Nomad is going to interpret the
periodic expression. `cron` is the only supported `SpecType` currently.
* `Spec` - A cron expression configuring the interval the job is launched
at. Supports predefined expressions such as "@daily" and "@weekly" See
[here](https://github.com/gorhill/cronexpr#implementation) for full
documentation of supported cron specs and the predefined expressions.
* <a id="prohibit_overlap">`ProhibitOverlap`</a> - `ProhibitOverlap` can
be set to true to enforce that the periodic job doesn't spawn a new
instance of the job if any of the previous jobs are still running. It is
defaulted to false.
An example `periodic` block:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Periodic": {
"Spec": "*/15 * * * * *"
"SpecType": "cron",
"Enabled": true,
"ProhibitOverlap": true
}
}
```
### Task Group
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
`TaskGroups` is a list of `TaskGroup` objects, each supports the following
attributes:
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Constraints` - This is a list of `Constraint` objects. See the constraint
reference for more details.
* `Count` - Specifies the number of the task groups that should
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
be running. Must be non-negative, defaults to one.
* `Meta` - A key-value map that annotates the task group with opaque metadata.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Name` - The name of the task group. Must be specified.
* `RestartPolicy` - Specifies the restart policy to be applied to tasks in this group.
If omitted, a default policy for batch and non-batch jobs is used based on the
job type. See the [restart policy reference](#restart_policy) for more details.
* `EphemeralDisk` - Specifies the group's ephemeral disk requirements. See the
[ephemeral disk reference](#ephemeral_disk) for more details.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Tasks` - A list of `Task` object that are part of the task group.
### Task
The `Task` object supports the following keys:
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Artifacts` - `Artifacts` is a list of `Artifact` objects which define
artifacts to be downloaded before the task is run. See the artifacts
reference for more details.
* `Config` - A map of key-value configuration passed into the driver
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
to start the task. The details of configurations are specific to
each driver.
* `Constraints` - This is a list of `Constraint` objects. See the constraint
reference for more details.
2017-01-26 06:15:00 +00:00
- `DispatchPayload` - Configures the task to have access to dispatch payloads.
The `DispatchPayload` object supports the following attributes:
* `File` - Specifies the file name to write the content of dispatch payload
to. The file is written relative to the task's local directory.
* `Driver` - Specifies the task driver that should be used to run the
task. See the [driver documentation](/docs/drivers/index.html) for what
is available. Examples include `docker`, `qemu`, `java`, and `exec`.
* `Env` - A map of key-value representing environment variables that
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
will be passed along to the running process. Nomad variables are
interpreted when set in the environment variable values. See the table of
interpreted variables [here](/docs/runtime/interpolation.html).
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
For example the below environment map will be reinterpreted:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Env": {
"NODE_CLASS" : "${nomad.class}"
}
}
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
```
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `KillTimeout` - `KillTimeout` is a time duration in nanoseconds. It can be
used to configure the time between signaling a task it will be killed and
actually killing it. Drivers first sends a task the `SIGINT` signal and then
sends `SIGTERM` if the task doesn't die after the `KillTimeout` duration has
2016-09-12 16:53:57 +00:00
elapsed. The default `KillTimeout` is 5 seconds.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
2017-02-13 18:18:34 +00:00
* `leader` - Specifies whether the task is the leader task of the task group. If
set to true, when the leader task completes, all other tasks within the task
group will be gracefully shutdown.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `LogConfig` - This allows configuring log rotation for the `stdout` and `stderr`
buffers of a Task. See the log rotation reference below for more details.
* `Meta` - Annotates the task group with opaque metadata.
* `Name` - The name of the task. This field is required.
* `Resources` - Provides the resource requirements of the task.
See the resources reference for more details.
* `Services` - `Services` is a list of `Service` objects. Nomad integrates with
Consul for service discovery. A `Service` object represents a routable and
discoverable service on the network. Nomad automatically registers when a task
is started and de-registers it when the task transitions to the dead state.
[Click here](/docs/service-discovery/index.html) to learn more about
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
services. Below is the fields in the `Service` object:
* `Name`: An explicit name for the Service. Nomad will replace `${JOB}`,
`${TASKGROUP}` and `${TASK}` by the name of the job, task group or task,
respectively. `${BASE}` expands to the equivalent of
`${JOB}-${TASKGROUP}-${TASK}`, and is the default name for a Service.
Each service defined for a given task must have a distinct name, so if
a task has multiple services only one of them can use the default name
and the others must be explicitly named. Names must adhere to
[RFC-1123 §2.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123#section-2) and are
limited to alphanumeric and hyphen characters (i.e. `[a-z0-9\-]`), and be
less than 64 characters in length.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Tags`: A list of string tags associated with this Service. String
interpolation is supported in tags.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `PortLabel`: `PortLabel` is an optional string and is used to associate
a port with the service. If specified, the port label must match one
defined in the resources block. This could be a label of either a
dynamic or a static port.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `Checks`: `Checks` is an array of check objects. A check object defines a
health check associated with the service. Nomad supports the `script`,
`http` and `tcp` Consul Checks. Script checks are not supported for the
qemu driver since the Nomad client doesn't have access to the file system
of a task using the Qemu driver.
* `Type`: This indicates the check types supported by Nomad. Valid
options are currently `script`, `http` and `tcp`.
* `Name`: The name of the health check.
* `Interval`: This indicates the frequency of the health checks that
Consul will perform.
* `Timeout`: This indicates how long Consul will wait for a health
check query to succeed.
2017-04-19 19:27:07 +00:00
* `Path`: The path of the http endpoint which Consul will query to query
the health of a service if the type of the check is `http`. Nomad
will add the IP of the service and the port, users are only required
to add the relative URL of the health check endpoint.
* `Protocol`: This indicates the protocol for the http checks. Valid
options are `http` and `https`. We default it to `http`.
* `Command`: This is the command that the Nomad client runs for doing
script based health check.
* `Args`: Additional arguments to the `command` for script based health
checks.
2017-04-19 19:27:07 +00:00
* `TLSSkipVerify`: If true, Consul will not attempt to verify the
certificate when performing HTTPS checks. Requires Consul >= 0.7.2.
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
* `Templates` - Specifies the set of [`Template`](#template) objects to render for the task.
Templates can be used to inject both static and dynamic configuration with
data populated from environment variables, Consul and Vault.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `User` - Set the user that will run the task. It defaults to the same user
2016-06-12 21:33:45 +00:00
the Nomad client is being run as. This can only be set on Linux platforms.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
### Resources
The `Resources` object supports the following keys:
* `CPU` - The CPU required in MHz.
* `IOPS` - The number of IOPS required given as a weight between 10-1000.
* `MemoryMB` - The memory required in MB.
* `Networks` - A list of network objects.
The Network object supports the following keys:
* `MBits` - The number of MBits in bandwidth required.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
Nomad can allocate two types of ports to a task - Dynamic and Static/Reserved
ports. A network object allows the user to specify a list of `DynamicPorts` and
`ReservedPorts`. Each object supports the following attributes:
* `Value` - The port number for static ports. If the port is dynamic, then this
attribute is ignored.
* `Label` - The label to annotate a port so that it can be referred in the
service discovery block or environment variables.
<a id="ephemeral_disk"></a>
### Ephemeral Disk
The `EphemeralDisk` object supports the following keys:
* `Migrate` - Specifies that the Nomad client should make a best-effort attempt
to migrate the data from a remote machine if placement cannot be made on the
original node. During data migration, the task will block starting until the
data migration has completed. Value is a boolean and the default is false.
* `SizeMB` - Specifies the size of the ephemeral disk in MB. Default is 300.
* `Sticky` - Specifies that Nomad should make a best-effort attempt to place the
updated allocation on the same machine. This will move the `local/` and
`alloc/data` directories to the new allocation. Value is a boolean and the
default is false.
<a id="restart_policy"></a>
### Restart Policy
The `RestartPolicy` object supports the following keys:
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `Attempts` - `Attempts` is the number of restarts allowed in an `Interval`.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `Interval` - `Interval` is a time duration that is specified in nanoseconds.
The `Interval` begins when the first task starts and ensures that only
`Attempts` number of restarts happens within it. If more than `Attempts`
number of failures happen, behavior is controlled by `Mode`.
* `Delay` - A duration to wait before restarting a task. It is specified in
nanoseconds. A random jitter of up to 25% is added to the delay.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `Mode` - `Mode` is given as a string and controls the behavior when the task
fails more than `Attempts` times in an `Interval`. Possible values are listed
below:
* `delay` - `delay` will delay the next restart until the next `Interval` is
reached.
* `fail` - `fail` will not restart the task again.
### Constraint
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
The `Constraint` object supports the following keys:
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `LTarget` - Specifies the attribute to examine for the
constraint. See the table of attributes [here](/docs/runtime/interpolation.html#interpreted_node_vars).
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `RTarget` - Specifies the value to compare the attribute against.
This can be a literal value, another attribute or a regular expression if
the `Operator` is in "regexp" mode.
* `Operand` - Specifies the test to be performed on the two targets. It takes on the
following values:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `regexp` - Allows the `RTarget` to be a regular expression to be matched.
2016-10-19 20:06:28 +00:00
* `set_contains` - Allows the `RTarget` to be a comma separated list of values
that should be contained in the LTarget's value.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* `distinct_host` - If set, the scheduler will not co-locate any task groups on the same
machine. This can be specified as a job constraint which applies the
constraint to all task groups in the job, or as a task group constraint which
2017-03-12 00:18:01 +00:00
scopes the effect to just that group. The constraint may not be
specified at the task level.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
Placing the constraint at both the job level and at the task group level is
redundant since when placed at the job level, the constraint will be applied
to all task groups. When specified, `LTarget` and `RTarget` should be
omitted.
2017-03-12 00:18:01 +00:00
* `distinct_property` - If set, the scheduler selects nodes that have a
distinct value of the specified property for each allocation. This can
be specified as a job constraint which applies the constraint to all
task groups in the job, or as a task group constraint which scopes the
effect to just that group. The constraint may not be specified at the
task level.
Placing the constraint at both the job level and at the task group level is
redundant since when placed at the job level, the constraint will be applied
to all task groups. When specified, `LTarget` should be the property
that should be distinct and and `RTarget` should be omitted.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
* Comparison Operators - `=`, `==`, `is`, `!=`, `not`, `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`. The
ordering is compared lexically.
### Log Rotation
The `LogConfig` object configures the log rotation policy for a task's `stdout` and
`stderr`. The `LogConfig` object supports the following attributes:
* `MaxFiles` - The maximum number of rotated files Nomad will retain for
`stdout` and `stderr`, each tracked individually.
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
* `MaxFileSizeMB` - The size of each rotated file. The size is specified in
`MB`.
If the amount of disk resource requested for the task is less than the total
amount of disk space needed to retain the rotated set of files, Nomad will return
a validation error when a job is submitted.
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"LogConfig": {
"MaxFiles": 3,
"MaxFileSizeMB": 10
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
}
}
```
In the above example we have asked Nomad to retain 3 rotated files for both
`stderr` and `stdout` and size of each file is 10MB. The minimum disk space that
would be required for the task would be 60MB.
### Artifact
Nomad downloads artifacts using
[`go-getter`](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter). The `go-getter` library
allows downloading of artifacts from various sources using a URL as the input
source. The key-value pairs given in the `options` block map directly to
2016-07-18 14:24:30 +00:00
parameters appended to the supplied `source` URL. These are then used by
`go-getter` to appropriately download the artifact. `go-getter` also has a CLI
tool to validate its URL and can be used to check if the Nomad `artifact` is
valid.
Nomad allows downloading `http`, `https`, and `S3` artifacts. If these artifacts
are archives (zip, tar.gz, bz2, etc.), these will be unarchived before the task
is started.
2016-04-14 23:47:24 +00:00
The `Artifact` object supports the following keys:
2016-03-19 19:35:58 +00:00
* `GetterSource` - The path to the artifact to download.

* `RelativeDest` - An optional path to download the artifact into relative to the
root of the task's directory. If omitted, it will default to `local/`.
2016-03-19 19:35:58 +00:00
* `GetterOptions` - A `map[string]string` block of options for `go-getter`.
Full documentation of supported options are available
[here](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter/tree/ef5edd3d8f6f482b775199be2f3734fd20e04d4a#protocol-specific-options-1).
An example is given below:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"GetterOptions": {
"checksum": "md5:c4aa853ad2215426eb7d70a21922e794",
"aws_access_key_id": "<id>",
"aws_access_key_secret": "<secret>",
"aws_access_token": "<token>"
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
}
}
```

An example of downloading and unzipping an archive is as simple as:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Artifacts": [
{
"GetterSource": "https://example.com/my.zip",
"GetterOptions": {
"checksum": "md5:7f4b3e3b4dd5150d4e5aaaa5efada4c3"
}
2016-05-09 23:23:25 +00:00
}
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
]
}

#### S3 examples
S3 has several different types of addressing and more detail can be found
[here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingBucket.html#access-bucket-intro)
S3 region specific endpoints can be found
[here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region)
Path based style:
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Artifacts": [
{
"GetterSource": "https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-bucket-example/my_app.tar.gz",
}
]
}
2016-06-03 21:35:43 +00:00
```
2016-07-18 14:24:30 +00:00
or to override automatic detection in the URL, use the S3-specific syntax
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Artifacts": [
{
"GetterSource": "s3::https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/my-bucket-example/my_app.tar.gz",
}
]
}
2016-06-03 21:35:43 +00:00
```
Virtual hosted based style
2016-10-03 22:23:50 +00:00
```json
{
"Artifacts": [
{
"GetterSource": "my-bucket-example.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/my_app.tar.gz",

### Template
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
The `Template` block instantiates an instance of a template renderer. This
creates a convenient way to ship configuration files that are populated from
environment variables, Consul data, Vault secrets, or just general
configurations within a Nomad task.
Nomad utilizes a tool called [Consul Template][ct]. Since Nomad v0.5.3, the
template can reference [Nomad's runtime environment variables][env]. For a full
list of the API template functions, please refer to the [Consul Template
README][ct].
`Template` object supports following attributes:
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
- `ChangeMode` - Specifies the behavior Nomad should take if the rendered
template changes. The default value is `"restart"`. The possible values are:
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
- `"noop"` - take no action (continue running the task)
- `"restart"` - restart the task
- `"signal"` - send a configurable signal to the task
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
* `ChangeSignal` - Specifies the signal to send to the task as a string like
"SIGUSR1" or "SIGINT". This option is required if the `ChangeMode` is
`signal`.
2017-02-21 00:43:28 +00:00
* `DestPath` - Specifies the location where the resulting template should be
rendered, relative to the task directory.
* `EmbeddedTmpl` - Specifies the raw template to execute. One of `SourcePath`
or `EmbeddedTmpl` must be specified, but not both. This is useful for smaller
templates, but we recommend using `SourcePath` for larger templates.
* `LeftDelim` - Specifies the left delimiter to use in the template. The default
is "{{" for some templates, it may be easier to use a different delimiter that
does not conflict with the output file itself.
* `Perms` - Specifies the rendered template's permissions. File permissions are
2017-02-13 18:18:34 +00:00
given as octal of the unix file permissions rwxrwxrwx.
2017-02-21 00:43:28 +00:00
* `RightDelim` - Specifies the right delimiter to use in the template. The default
is "}}" for some templates, it may be easier to use a different delimiter that
does not conflict with the output file itself.
* `SourcePath` - Specifies the path to the template to be rendered. `SourcePath`
is mutually exclusive with `EmbeddedTmpl` attribute. The source can be fetched
using an [`Artifact`](#artifact) resource. The template must exist on the
machine prior to starting the task; it is not possible to reference a template
inside of a Docker container, for example.
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
* `Splay` - Specifies a random amount of time to wait between 0ms and the given
splay value before invoking the change mode. Should be specified in
nanoseconds.
```json
{
"Templates": [
{
"SourcePath": "local/config.conf.tpl",
"DestPath": "local/config.conf",
2017-01-24 17:12:42 +00:00
"EmbeddedTmpl": "",
"ChangeMode": "signal",
"ChangeSignal": "SIGUSR1",
"Splay": 5000000000
}
]
}
