# 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 graph [options]`
|
|
|
|
Outputs the visual execution graph of Terraform resources according to
|
|
either the current configuration or an execution plan.
|
|
|
|
The graph is outputted in DOT format. The typical program that can
|
|
read this format is GraphViz, but many web services are also available
|
|
to read this format.
|
|
|
|
The `-type` flag can be used to control the type of graph shown. Terraform
|
|
creates different graphs for different operations. See the options below
|
|
for the list of types supported. The default type is "plan" if a
|
|
configuration is given, and "apply" if a plan file is passed as an
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
* `-plan=tfplan` - Render graph using the specified plan file instead of the
|
|
configuration in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
* `-draw-cycles` - Highlight any cycles in the graph with colored edges.
|
|
This helps when diagnosing cycle errors.
|
|
|
|
* `-type=plan` - Type of graph to output. Can be: `plan`, `plan-destroy`, `apply`,
|
|
`validate`, `input`, `refresh`.
|
|
|
|
* `-module-depth=n` - (deprecated) In prior versions of Terraform, specified the
|
|
depth of modules to show in the output.
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
```shellsession
|
|
$ terraform graph | dot -Tsvg > graph.svg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is an example graph output:
