Use the knife show
subcommand to view the details of one (or more) objects on the Chef server. This subcommand works similar to knife cookbook show
, knife data bag show
, knife environment show
, knife node show
, and knife role show
, but with a single verb (and a single action).
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife show [PATTERN...] (options)
Note
Review the list of common options available to this (and all) knife subcommands and plugins.
This subcommand has the following options:
-a ATTR
, --attribute ATTR
--chef-repo-path PATH
chef_repo_path
in client.rb.--concurrency
10
.--local
--repo-mode MODE
static
, everything
, or hosted_everything
. Use static
for just roles, environments, cookbooks, and data bags. By default, everything
and hosted_everything
are dynamically selected depending on the server type. Default: everything
/ hosted_everything
.The following examples show how to use this knife subcommand:
Show all cookbooks
To show all cookbooks in the cookbooks/
directory:
$ knife show cookbooks/
or, (if already in the cookbooks/
directory in the local chef-repo):
$ knife show
Show roles and environments
$ knife show roles/ environments/
