# 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. This is only available when using `show` with a path to a Terraform
|
|
plan file.
|
|
|
|
**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/state/sensitive-data.html).
|
|
|
|
## json output
|
|
|
|
When `terraform show -json` is run with a path to a Terraform state file or no
|
|
path, a json representation of the current state will be shown.
|
|
|
|
When `terraform show -json` is run with a path to a Terraform plan file, a json
|
|
representation of the plan, configuration, and current state will be shown.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform show [options] [path]`
|
|
|
|
You may use `show` with a path to either a Terraform state file or plan
|
|
file. If no path is specified, the current state will be shown.
|
|
|
|
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
|
|
|
|
* `-no-color` - Disables output with coloring
|
|
|
|
* `-json` - Displays machine-readable output from a state or plan file
