# Jobs HTTP API
The `/jobs` endpoints are used to query for and interact with jobs.
## List Jobs
This endpoint lists all known jobs in the system registered with Nomad.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/v1/jobs` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | --------------------- |
| `YES` | `namespace:list-jobs` |
### Parameters
- `prefix` `(string: "")` - Specifies a string to filter jobs on based on
an index prefix. 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 job. This value
can be obtained from the `X-Nomad-NextToken` header from the previous
response.
- `per_page` `(int: 0)` - Specifies a maximum number of jobs 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](/api-docs#filtering)
used to filter the results. Consider using pagination or a query parameter to
reduce resource used to serve the request.
- `namespace` `(string: "default")` - Specifies the target namespace. Specifying
`*` would return all jobs across all the authorized namespaces.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl https://localhost:4646/v1/jobs
```
```shell-session
$ curl https://localhost:4646/v1/jobs?prefix=team
```
```shell-session
$ curl https://localhost:4646/v1/jobs?namespace=*&prefix=team
```
### Sample Response
```json
[
{
"ID": "example",
"ParentID": "",
"Name": "example",
"Type": "service",
"Priority": 50,
"Status": "pending",
"StatusDescription": "",
"JobSummary": {
"JobID": "example",
"Namespace": "default",
"Summary": {
"cache": {
"Queued": 1,
"Complete": 1,
"Failed": 0,
"Running": 0,
"Starting": 0,
"Lost": 0
}
},
"Children": {
"Pending": 0,
"Running": 0,
"Dead": 0
},
"CreateIndex": 52,
"ModifyIndex": 96
},
"CreateIndex": 52,
"ModifyIndex": 93,
"JobModifyIndex": 52
}
]
```
## Create Job
This endpoint creates (aka "registers") a new job in the system.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/jobs` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:submit-job`
`namespace:sentinel-override` if `PolicyOverride` set |
### Parameters
- `Job` `(Job: )` - Specifies the JSON definition of the job.
- `EnforceIndex` `(bool: false)` - If set, the job will only be registered if the
passed `JobModifyIndex` matches the current job's index. If the index is zero,
the register only occurs if the job is new. This paradigm allows check-and-set
style job updating.
- `EvalPriority` `(int: 0)` - Override the priority of the evaluations produced
as a result of this job registration. By default, this is set to the priority
of the job.
- `JobModifyIndex` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the `JobModifyIndex` to enforce the
current job is at.
- `PolicyOverride` `(bool: false)` - If set, any soft mandatory Sentinel
policies will be overridden. This allows a job to be registered when it would
be denied by policy.
- `PreserveCounts` `(bool: false)` - If set, existing task group counts are
preserved, over those specified in the new job spec.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"Job": {
"Datacenters": ["dc1"],
"ID": "cache",
"TaskGroups": [
{
"Name": "cache",
"Networks": [

}
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
https://localhost:4646/v1/jobs
```
### Sample Response

"EvalID": "",
"EvalCreateIndex": 0,
"JobModifyIndex": 109,
"Warnings": "",
"Index": 0,
"LastContact": 0,
"KnownLeader": false
}
```
## Parse Job
This endpoint will parse a HCL jobspec and produce the equivalent JSON encoded
job.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/jobs/parse` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:parse-job`
`namespace:submit-job` |
### Parameters
- `namespace` `(string: "default")` - Specifies the target namespace. If ACL is
enabled, this value must match a namespace that the token is allowed to
access. This is specified as a query string parameter.
- `JobHCL` `(string: )` - Specifies the HCL definition of the job
encoded in a JSON string.
- `Canonicalize` `(bool: false)` - Flag to enable setting any unset fields to
their default values.
## Sample Payload
```json
{
"JobHCL": "job \"example\" { type = \"service\" group \"cache\" {} }",
"Canonicalize": true
}
```
### Sample Request

### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
- `Job` `(Job: )` - Specifies the JSON definition of the job.
- `EnforceIndex` `(bool: false)` - If set, the job will only be registered if the
passed `JobModifyIndex` matches the current job's index. If the index is zero,
the register only occurs if the job is new. This paradigm allows check-and-set
style job updating.
- `EvalPriority` `(int: 0)` - Override the priority of the evaluations produced

the job.
- `JobModifyIndex` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the `JobModifyIndex` to enforce the
current job is at.
- `PolicyOverride` `(bool: false)` - If set, any soft mandatory Sentinel policies
will be overridden. This allows a job to be registered when it would be denied
by policy.

## Create Job Evaluation
This endpoint creates a new evaluation for the given job. This can be used to
force run the scheduling logic if necessary. Since Nomad 0.8.4, this endpoint
supports a JSON payload with additional options. Support for calling this end point
without a JSON payload will be removed in Nomad 0.9.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | -------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/job/:job_id/evaluate` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for

| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | -------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:read-job` |
### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
- `JobID` `(string: )` - Specify the ID of the job in the JSON payload
- `EvalOptions` `()` - Specify additional options to be used during the forced evaluation.
- `ForceReschedule` `(bool: false)` - If set, failed allocations of the job are rescheduled
immediately. This is useful for operators to force immediate placement even if the failed allocations are past
their reschedule limit, or are delayed by several hours because the allocation's reschedule policy has exponential delay.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"JobID": "my-job",
"EvalOptions": {
"ForceReschedule": true
}
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \

#### Field Reference
- `Diff` - A diff structure between the submitted job and the server side
version. The top-level object is a Job Diff which contains Task Group Diffs,
which in turn contain Task Diffs. Each of these objects then has Object and
Field Diff structures embedded.
- `NextPeriodicLaunch` - If the job being planned is periodic, this field will
include the next launch time for the job.
- `CreatedEvals` - A set of evaluations that were created as a result of the
dry-run. These evaluations can signify a follow-up rolling update evaluation
or a blocked evaluation.
- `JobModifyIndex` - The `JobModifyIndex` of the server side version of this job.
- `FailedTGAllocs` - A set of metrics to understand any allocation failures that
occurred for the Task Group.
- `Annotations` - Annotations include the `DesiredTGUpdates`, which tracks what
- the scheduler would do given enough resources for each Task Group.
## Force New Periodic Instance
This endpoint forces a new instance of the periodic job. A new instance will be
created even if it violates the job's
[`prohibit_overlap`](/docs/job-specification/periodic#prohibit_overlap)
settings. As such, this should be only used to immediately run a periodic job.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/job/:job_id/periodic/force` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:dispatch-job` or `namespace:submit-job` |
### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request POST \
https://localhost:4646/v1/job/my-job/periodic/force
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"EvalCreateIndex": 7,
"EvalID": "57983ddd-7fcf-3e3a-fd24-f699ccfb36f4"
}
```
## Stop a Job
This endpoint deregisters a job, and stops all allocations part of it.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| -------- | ----------------- | ------------------ |
| `DELETE` | `/v1/job/:job_id` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ---------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:submit-job` |
### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
- `eval_priority` `(int: 0)` - Override the priority of the evaluations produced
as a result of this job deregistration. By default, this is set to the priority
of the job.
- `global` `(bool: false)` - Stop a multi-region job in all its regions. By default,
job stop will stop only a single region at a time. Ignored for single-region jobs.
- `purge` `(bool: false)` - Specifies that the job should be stopped and purged
immediately. This means the job will not be queryable after being stopped. If
not set, the job will be purged by the garbage collector.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request DELETE \
https://localhost:4646/v1/job/my-job?purge=true
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"EvalID": "d092fdc0-e1fd-2536-67d8-43af8ca798ac",
"EvalCreateIndex": 35,
"JobModifyIndex": 34
}
```
## Read Job Scale Status
This endpoint reads scale information about a job.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ----------------------- | ------------------ |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `YES` | `namespace:read-job-scaling` or `namespace:read-job` |
### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
https://localhost:4646/v1/job/my-job/scale
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"JobCreateIndex": 10,
"JobID": "example",

"TaskGroups": {
"cache": {
"Desired": 1,
"Events": null,
"Healthy": 1,
"Placed": 1,
"Running": 0,
"Unhealthy": 0
}
}
}
```
## Scale Task Group
This endpoint performs a scaling action against a job.
Currently, this endpoint supports scaling the count for a task group.
This will return a 400 error if the job has an active deployment.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ----------------------- | ------------------ |
| `POST` | `/v1/job/:job_id/scale` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs#blocking-queries) and
[required ACLs](/api-docs#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:scale-job` or `namespace:submit-job`
`namespace:sentinel-override` if `PolicyOverride` set |
### Parameters
- `:job_id` `(string: )` - Specifies the ID of the job (as specified in
the job file during submission). This is specified as part of the path.
- `Count` `(int: )` - Specifies the new task group count.
- `Target` `(json: required)` - JSON map containing the target of the scaling operation.
Must contain a field `Group` with the name of the task group that is the target of this scaling action.
- `Message` `(string: )` - Description of the scale action, persisted as part of the scaling event.
Indicates information or reason for scaling; one of `Message` or `Error` must be provided.
- `Error` `(string: )` - Description of the scale action, persisted as part of the scaling event.
Indicates an error state preventing scaling; one of `Message` or `Error` must be provided.
- `Meta` `(json: )` - JSON block that is persisted as part of the scaling event.
- `PolicyOverride` `(bool: false)` - If set, any soft mandatory Sentinel policies
will be overridden. This allows a job to be scaled when it would be denied
by policy.
### Sample Payload
```javascript
{
"Count": 5,
"Meta": {
"metrics": [
"cpu",
"memory"
]
},
"Message": "metric did not satisfy SLA",
"Target": {
"Group": "cache"
}
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
https://localhost:4646/v1/job/example/scale
```
### Sample Response
This is the same payload as returned by job update.
`EvalCreateIndex` and `EvalID` will only be present if the scaling operation resulted in the creation of an evaluation.
