# 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] [DIR]`
|
|
|
|
Outputs the visual dependency graph of Terraform resources according to
|
|
configuration files in DIR (or the current directory if omitted).
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
* `-draw-cycles` - Highlight any cycles in the graph with colored edges.
|
|
This helps when diagnosing cycle errors.
|
|
|
|
* `-no-color` - If specified, output won't contain any color.
|
|
|
|
* `-type=plan` - Type of graph to output. Can be: plan, plan-destroy, apply, legacy.
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ terraform graph | dot -Tpng > graph.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is an example graph output:
