» 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.
» 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.
