My servers expose the HTTP API but I can't find how to query it on my local machine with the nomad CLI tool. Help?

Looking at the code, I found NOMAD_ADDR environment variable.

$ export NOMAD_ADDR=http://172.17.9.100:4646

$ nomad node-status

ID DC Name Class Drain Status

66b460a9-e31d-091c-da4a-579d528d926f dc1 client-02 <none> false down

35a6a5bd-520c-7a9b-7a38-ffeb15f7df3f dc1 client-01 <none> false ready

It works!

Thanks so much! I assumed the client agent would redirect server oriented commands to the server, and when it didn't, concluded it must be by design for some reason.

I'm curious why nomad doesn't send, e.g. #nomad show-servers to a server in the first place? Is the idea that nomad clients shouldn't, by default, have access to this data, etc?

Thanks again for this tidbit!

oops... meant #nomad server-members, obviously.

Hey Eric,

The CLI uses the HTTP endpoints which are being forwarded to the servers.
