# Command: graph
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `terraform graph` command is used to generate a visual
|
|
|
|
|
representation of either a configuration or execution plan.
|
|
|
|
|
The output is in the DOT format, which can be used by

|
|
|
[GraphViz](http://www.graphviz.org) to generate charts.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform output [options] [input]`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, `output` scans the current directory for the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
and generates the output for that configuration. However, a path to
|
|
|
|
|
another configuration or an execution plan can be provided. Execution plans
|
|
|
|
|
provide more details on creation, deletion or changes.

|
## Generating Images
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The output of `terraform graph` is in the DOT format, which can
|
|
|
|
|
easily be converted to an image by making use of `dot` provided
|
|
|
|
|
by GraphViz:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ terraform graph | dot -Tpng > graph.png
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the webbased [GraphViz Workspace](http://graphviz-dev.appspot.com)
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to quickly render DOT file inputs as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
