Command: alloc status
The alloc status command displays status information and metadata
about an existing allocation and its tasks. It can be useful while
debugging to reveal the underlying reasons for scheduling decisions or
failures, as well as the current state of its tasks. As of Nomad
0.7.1, alloc status also shows allocation modification time in
addition to create time. As of Nomad 0.8, alloc status shows
information about reschedule attempts. As of Nomad 0.11, alloc status
shows volume claims when a job claims volumes.
Usage
An allocation ID or prefix must be provided. If there is an exact match, the full details of the allocation will be displayed. Otherwise, a list of matching allocations and information will be displayed.
When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the read-job and
list-jobs capabilities for the allocation's namespace.

-address=<addr>: The address of the Nomad server. Overrides theNOMAD_ADDRenvironment variable if set. Defaults tohttp://127.0.0.1:4646.-region=<region>: The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Overrides theNOMAD_REGIONenvironment variable if set. Defaults to the Agent's local region.-namespace=<namespace>: The target namespace for queries and actions bound to a namespace. Overrides theNOMAD_NAMESPACEenvironment variable if set. If set to'*', subcommands which support this functionality query all namespaces authorized to user. Defaults to the "default" namespace.-no-color: Disables colored command output. Alternatively,NOMAD_CLI_NO_COLORmay be set. This option takes precedence over-force-color.-force-color: Forces colored command output. This can be used in cases where the usual terminal detection fails. Alternatively,NOMAD_CLI_FORCE_COLORmay be set. This option has no effect if-no-coloris also used.-ca-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. Overrides theNOMAD_CACERTenvironment variable if set.-ca-path=<path>: Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both-ca-certand-ca-pathare specified,-ca-certis used.
