## Usage

```plaintext
nomad namespace status [options] <namespace_name>
```

If ACLs are enabled, this command requires a management ACL token or a token
that has a capability associated with the namespace.

## General Options

@include 'general_options_no_namespace.mdx'

## Status Options

- `-json` : Output the namespace status in its JSON format.
- `-t` : Format and display the namespace status using a Go template.

## Examples

View the status of a namespace:

```shell-session
$ nomad namespace status default
Name            = api-prod
Description     = Prod API servers
Quota           = prod
EnabledDrivers  = docker,exec
DisabledDrivers = raw_exec

Metadata
contact = platform-eng@example.com

Quota Limits
Region  CPU Usage   Memory Usage
global  500 / 2500  256 / 2000
```

The `-json` flag can be used to get the namespace status in json format:

```shell-session
$ nomad namespace status -json default
{
    "Capabilities": null,
    "CreateIndex": 1,
    "Description": "Default shared namespace",
    "Meta": null,
    "ModifyIndex": 1,
    "Name": "default",
    "Quota": ""
}

Or use the `-t` flag to format and display the status using a Go template:

```shell-session
$ nomad namespace status -t {{.Description}} default
Default shared namespace
```
