api Client - HTTP API api-client The /client endpoints interact with the local Nomad agent to interact with client members.

Client HTTP API

The /client endpoints are used to interact with the Nomad clients. The API endpoints are hosted by the Nomad client and requests have to be made to the Client where the particular allocation was placed.

Read Stats
