command: docker service inspect short: Display detailed information on one or more services long: |- Inspects the specified service. This command has to be run targeting a manager node. By default, this renders all results in a JSON array. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed for each result. Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package describes all the details of the format. usage: docker service inspect [OPTIONS] SERVICE [SERVICE...] pname: docker service plink: docker_service.yaml options: - option: format shorthand: f value_type: string description: Format the output using the given Go template deprecated: false experimental: false experimentalcli: false kubernetes: false swarm: false - option: pretty value_type: bool default_value: "false" description: Print the information in a human friendly format deprecated: false experimental: false experimentalcli: false kubernetes: false swarm: false examples: "### Inspect a service by name or ID\n\nYou can inspect a service, either by its *name*, or *ID*\n\nFor example, given the following service;\n\n```bash\n$ docker service ls\nID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE\ndmu1ept4cxcf \ redis replicated 3/3 redis:3.0.6\n```\n\nBoth `docker service inspect redis`, and `docker service inspect dmu1ept4cxcf`\nproduce the same result:\n\n```none\n$ docker service inspect redis\n\n[\n {\n \"ID\": \"dmu1ept4cxcfe8k8lhtux3ro3\",\n \ \"Version\": {\n \"Index\": 12\n },\n \"CreatedAt\": \"2016-06-17T18:44:02.558012087Z\",\n \"UpdatedAt\": \"2016-06-17T18:44:02.558012087Z\",\n \ \"Spec\": {\n \"Name\": \"redis\",\n \"TaskTemplate\": {\n \"ContainerSpec\": {\n \"Image\": \"redis:3.0.6\"\n \ },\n \"Resources\": {\n \"Limits\": {},\n \"Reservations\": {}\n },\n \"RestartPolicy\": {\n \"Condition\": \"any\",\n \"MaxAttempts\": 0\n },\n \"Placement\": {}\n },\n \"Mode\": {\n \"Replicated\": {\n \"Replicas\": 1\n }\n \ },\n \"UpdateConfig\": {},\n \"EndpointSpec\": {\n \"Mode\": \"vip\"\n }\n },\n \"Endpoint\": {\n \"Spec\": {}\n }\n }\n]\n```\n\n```bash\n$ docker service inspect dmu1ept4cxcf\n\n[\n {\n \"ID\": \"dmu1ept4cxcfe8k8lhtux3ro3\",\n \ \"Version\": {\n \"Index\": 12\n },\n ...\n }\n]\n```\n\n### Formatting\n\nYou can print the inspect output in a human-readable format instead of the default\nJSON output, by using the `--pretty` option:\n\n```bash\n$ docker service inspect --pretty frontend\n\nID:\t\tc8wgl7q4ndfd52ni6qftkvnnp\nName:\t\tfrontend\nLabels:\n - org.example.projectname=demo-app\nService Mode:\tREPLICATED\n Replicas:\t\t5\nPlacement:\nUpdateConfig:\n Parallelism:\t0\n On failure:\tpause\n Max failure ratio:\t0\nContainerSpec:\n Image:\t\tnginx:alpine\nResources:\nNetworks:\tnet1\nEndpoint Mode: vip\nPorts:\n PublishedPort = 4443\n Protocol = tcp\n TargetPort = 443\n \ PublishMode = ingress\n```\n\nYou can also use `--format pretty` for the same effect.\n\n\n#### Find the number of tasks running as part of a service\n\nThe `--format` option can be used to obtain specific information about a\nservice. For example, the following command outputs the number of replicas\nof the \"redis\" service.\n\n```bash\n$ docker service inspect --format='{{.Spec.Mode.Replicated.Replicas}}' redis\n\n10\n```" deprecated: false min_api_version: "1.24" experimental: false experimentalcli: false kubernetes: false swarm: true
