api	Client - HTTP API	api-client	The /client endpoints are used to access client statistics and inspect allocations running on a particular client.

Client HTTP API

The /client endpoints are used to interact with the Nomad clients.

Since Nomad 0.8.0, both a client and server can handle client endpoints. This is particularly useful for when a direct connection to a client is not possible due to the network configuration. For high volume access to the client endpoints, particularly endpoints streaming file contents, direct access to the node should be preferred as it avoids adding additional load to the servers.

When accessing the endpoints via the server, if the desired node is ambiguous based on the URL, an additional ?node_id query parameter must be provided to disambiguate.

Read Stats

This endpoint queries the actual resources consumed on a node. The API endpoint is hosted by the Nomad client and requests have to be made to the nomad client whose resource usage metrics are of interest.

Method	Path	Produces
`GET`	`/client/stats`	`application/json`

The table below shows this endpoint's support for blocking queries and required ACLs.

Blocking Queries	ACL Required
`NO`	`node:read`

Parameters

node_id (string: <optional>) - Specifies the node to query. This is required when the endpoint is being accessed via a server. This is specified as part of the URL. Note, this must be the full node ID, not the short 8-character one. This is specified as part of the path.
