# Command: volume snapshot list

The `volume snapshot list` command lists volume snapshots known to to a
[Container Storage Interface (CSI)][csi] storage provider. Only CSI plugins
that implement the [Controller][csi_plugins_internals] interface support this
command.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad volume snapshot list [-plugin plugin_id -secrets key=value]
```

The `volume snapshot list` command returns a list of snapshots along with their
source volume ID as known to the external storage provider. This is not the
same as the Nomad volume ID, as the source volume may not be [registered] with
Nomad.

## General Options

@include 'general_options.mdx'

## Snapshot List Options

- `-page-token`: Where to start pagination.
- `-per-page`: How many results to show per page.
- `-plugin`: Display only snapshots managed by a particular [CSI
  plugin][csi_plugin]. This flag is required and accepts a plugin ID
  or prefix. If there is an exact match based on the provided plugin,
  then that specific plugin will be queried. Otherwise, a list of
  matching plugins will be displayed.
- `-secret`: Secrets to pass to the plugin to list snapshots. Accepts
  multiple flags in the form `-secret key=value`
- `-verbose`: Display full information for the resulting snapshot.

When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the
`csi-list-volumes` capability for the plugin's namespace.

## Examples

List volume snapshots for a plugin:

```shell-session
$ nomad volume snapshot list -plugin aws-ebs0
Snapshot ID  External ID  Size   Creation Time         Ready?
snap-12345   vol-abcdef   50GiB  2021-01-03T12:15:02Z  true
snap-67890   vol-fedcba   50GiB  2021-01-04T15:45:00Z  true
```

List volume snapshots with two secret key/value pairs:
```shell-session
$ nomad volume snapshot list -plugin aws-ebs0 -secret key1=value1 -secret key2=val2
Snapshot ID  External ID  Size   Creation Time         Ready?
snap-12345   vol-abcdef   50GiB  2021-01-03T12:15:02Z  true
```
