# Command: show
|
|
|
|
The `terraform show` command is used to provide human-readable output
|
|
from a state or plan file. This can be used to inspect a plan to ensure
|
|
that the planned operations are expected, or to inspect the current state
|
|
as Terraform sees it.
|
|
|
|
Machine-readable output is generated by adding the `-json` command-line
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** When using the `-json` command-line flag, any sensitive values in
|
|
Terraform state will be displayed in plain text. For more information, see
|
|
[Sensitive Data in State](/docs/language/state/sensitive-data.html).
|
|
|
|
## JSON Output
|
|
|
|
For Terraform state files (including when no path is provided),
|
|
`terraform show -json` will show a JSON representation of the state.
|
|
|
|
For Terraform plan files, `terraform show -json` will show a JSON representation
|
|
of the plan, configuration, and current state.
|
|
|
|
The output format is covered in detail in [JSON Output Format](/docs/internals/json-format.html).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform show [options] [file]`
|
|
|
|
You may use `show` with a path to either a Terraform state file or plan
|
|
file. If you don't specify a file path, Terraform will show the latest state
|
|
snapshot.
|
|
|
|
This command accepts the following options:
|
|
|
|
* `-no-color` - Disables output with coloring
|
|
|
|
* `-json` - Displays machine-readable output from a state or plan file
|
|
|
|
-> JSON output via the `-json` option requires **Terraform v0.12 or later**.
