# Allocations HTTP API
The `/allocation` endpoints are used to query for and interact with allocations.
## List Allocations
This endpoint lists all allocations.
2020-02-06 23:45:31 +00:00
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ----------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/v1/allocations` | `application/json` |
2017-05-26 23:13:42 +00:00
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
2023-01-25 17:31:14 +00:00
[blocking queries](/nomad/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/nomad/api-docs#acls).
2017-05-26 23:13:42 +00:00
2017-09-15 00:24:51 +00:00
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | -------------------- |
| `YES` | `namespace:read-job` |
2017-05-26 23:13:42 +00:00
### Parameters
2019-10-08 22:11:56 +00:00
- `prefix` `(string: "")`- Specifies a string to filter allocations 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.
2017-05-26 23:13:42 +00:00
2022-03-14 14:58:42 +00:00
- `next_token` `(string: "")` - This endpoint supports paging. The `next_token`
parameter accepts a string which identifies the next expected allocation.
This value can be obtained from the `X-Nomad-NextToken` header from the
previous response.
- `per_page` `(int: 0)` - Specifies a maximum number of allocations 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.
2023-01-25 17:31:14 +00:00
- `filter` `(string: "")` - Specifies the [expression](/nomad/api-docs#filtering)
2022-03-14 14:58:42 +00:00
used to filter the results. Consider using pagination or a query parameter to
reduce resource used to serve the request.
2020-07-01 19:15:01 +00:00
- `namespace` `(string: "default")` - Specifies the namespace to search. Specifying
`*` would return all allocations across all the authorized namespaces.
2020-10-14 17:41:32 +00:00
- `resources` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether or not to include the
`AllocatedResources` field in the response.
- `task_states` `(bool: true)` - Specifies whether or not to include the
`TaskStates` field in the response. TaskStates are included by default but
can represent a large percentage of the overall response size. Clusters with
a large number of allocations may set `task_states=false` to significantly
reduce the size of the response.
2022-03-12 00:44:52 +00:00
- `reverse` `(bool: false)` - Specifies the list of returned allocations should
be sorted in the reverse order. By default allocations are returned sorted in
chronological order (older evaluations first), or in lexicographical order by
their ID if the `prefix` query parameter is used.

#### Field Reference
2020-11-18 15:00:52 +00:00
- `Job` - A copy of the job at the time that the allocation is created or
updated. This is primarily intended for use by the Nomad client when running
the allocation, and it may include stale information on some job fields.
Up-to-date information about the job status is available from the
2023-01-25 17:31:14 +00:00
[jobs API](/nomad/api-docs/jobs); take care to fetch the version of the job
2020-11-18 15:00:52 +00:00
associated with this allocation.
2017-05-26 23:13:42 +00:00
- `TaskStates` - A map of tasks to their current state and the latest events
2017-07-07 06:04:42 +00:00
that have effected the state. `TaskState` objects contain the following
fields:

Task lifecycle restart (#14127)
* allocrunner: handle lifecycle when all tasks die
When all tasks die the Coordinator must transition to its terminal
state, coordinatorStatePoststop, to unblock poststop tasks. Since this
could happen at any time (for example, a prestart task dies), all states
must be able to transition to this terminal state.
* allocrunner: implement different alloc restarts
Add a new alloc restart mode where all tasks are restarted, even if they
have already exited. Also unifies the alloc restart logic to use the
implementation that restarts tasks concurrently and ignores
ErrTaskNotRunning errors since those are expected when restarting the
allocation.
* allocrunner: allow tasks to run again
Prevent the task runner Run() method from exiting to allow a dead task
to run again. When the task runner is signaled to restart, the function
will jump back to the MAIN loop and run it again.
The task runner determines if a task needs to run again based on two new
task events that were added to differentiate between a request to
restart a specific task, the tasks that are currently running, or all
tasks that have already run.
* api/cli: add support for all tasks alloc restart
Implement the new -all-tasks alloc restart CLI flag and its API
counterpar, AllTasks. The client endpoint calls the appropriate restart
method from the allocrunner depending on the restart parameters used.
* test: fix tasklifecycle Coordinator test
* allocrunner: kill taskrunners if all tasks are dead
When all non-poststop tasks are dead we need to kill the taskrunners so
we don't leak their goroutines, which are blocked in the alloc restart
loop. This also ensures the allocrunner exits on its own.
* taskrunner: fix tests that waited on WaitCh
Now that "dead" tasks may run again, the taskrunner Run() method will
not return when the task finishes running, so tests must wait for the
task state to be "dead" instead of using the WaitCh, since it won't be
closed until the taskrunner is killed.
* tests: add tests for all tasks alloc restart
* changelog: add entry for #14127
* taskrunner: fix restore logic.
The first implementation of the task runner restore process relied on
server data (`tr.Alloc().TerminalStatus()`) which may not be available
to the client at the time of restore.
It also had the incorrect code path. When restoring a dead task the
driver handle always needs to be clear cleanly using `clearDriverHandle`
otherwise, after exiting the MAIN loop, the task may be killed by
`tr.handleKill`.
The fix is to store the state of the Run() loop in the task runner local
client state: if the task runner ever exits this loop cleanly (not with
a shutdown) it will never be able to run again. So if the Run() loops
starts with this local state flag set, it must exit early.
This local state flag is also being checked on task restart requests. If
the task is "dead" and its Run() loop is not active it will never be
able to run again.
* address code review requests
* apply more code review changes
* taskrunner: add different Restart modes
Using the task event to differentiate between the allocrunner restart
methods proved to be confusing for developers to understand how it all
worked.
So instead of relying on the event type, this commit separated the logic
of restarting an taskRunner into two methods:
- `Restart` will retain the current behaviour and only will only restart
the task if it's currently running.
- `ForceRestart` is the new method where a `dead` task is allowed to
restart if its `Run()` method is still active. Callers will need to
restart the allocRunner taskCoordinator to make sure it will allow the
task to run again.
* minor fixes
2022-08-24 21:43:07 +00:00
- `TaskName` `(string: "")` - Specifies the individual task to restart. Cannot
be used with `AllTasks` set to `true`.
- `AllTasks` `(bool: false)` - If set to `true` all tasks in the allocation
will be restarted, even the ones that already ran. Cannot be set to `true` if
`TaskName` is defined.

# sending stdin data
{"stdin": {"data": "...base64 encoded string of bytes ..."}}

{"stdin": {"close": true}}
# indicating that TTY was resized
{"tty_size": {"height": <characters>, "width": <characters>}}
# basic application-level heartbeat
{}
```
### Response Frames
Response frames represent `stdout` and `stderr` output from the command as well as exit codes:
