List the tasks of one or more services
API 1.24+ The client and daemon API must both be at least 1.24 to use this command. Use the docker version command on the client to check your client and daemon API versions.
Swarm This command works with the Swarm orchestrator.

Lists the tasks that are running as part of the specified services. This command has to be run targeting a manager node.
The following command shows all the tasks that are part of the redis service:
$ docker service ps redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
0qihejybwf1x redis.1 redis:3.0.5 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
bk658fpbex0d redis.2 redis:3.0.5 worker2 Running Running 9 seconds

8ryt076polmc redis.4 redis:3.0.5 worker1 Running Running 9 seconds

3w1wu13yupln redis.9 redis:3.0.5 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
8eaxrb2fqpbn redis.10 redis:3.0.5 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
In addition to running tasks, the output also shows the task history. For example, after updating the service to use the redis:3.0.6 image, the output may look like this:
$ docker service ps redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
50qe8lfnxaxk redis.1 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 6 seconds ago
ky2re9oz86r9 \_ redis.1 redis:3.0.5 manager1 Shutdown Shutdown 8 seconds ago

vtiuz2fpc0yb \_ redis.2 redis:3.0.5 worker2 Shutdown Shutdown 1 second ago
jnarweeha8x4 redis.3 redis:3.0.6 worker1 Running Running 3 seconds ago
vs448yca2nz4 \_ redis.3 redis:3.0.5 worker1 Shutdown Shutdown 4 seconds ago
jf1i992619ir redis.4 redis:3.0.6 worker1 Running Running 10 seconds ago
blkttv7zs8ee \_ redis.4 redis:3.0.5 worker1 Shutdown Shutdown 11 seconds ago
The number of items in the task history is determined by the --task-history-limit option that was set when initializing the swarm. You can change the task history retention limit using the docker swarm update command.
When deploying a service, docker resolves the digest for the service’s image, and pins the service to that digest. The digest is not shown by default, but is printed if --no-trunc is used. The --no-trunc option also shows the non-truncated task ID, and error-messages, as can be seen below;
$ docker service ps --no-trunc redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
50qe8lfnxaxksi9w2a704wkp7 redis.1 redis:3.0.6@sha256:6a692a76c2081888b589e26e6ec835743119fe453d67ecf03df7de5b73d69842 manager1 Running Running 5 minutes ago

The filtering flag (-f or --filter) format is a key=value pair. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"). Multiple filter flags are combined as an OR filter. For example, -f name=redis.1 -f name=redis.7 returns both redis.1 and redis.7 tasks.
The currently supported filters are:
The id filter matches on all or a prefix of a task’s ID.
$ docker service ps -f "id=8" redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
8ryt076polmc redis.4 redis:3.0.6 worker1 Running Running 9 seconds
8eaxrb2fqpbn redis.10 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
The name filter matches on task names.
$ docker service ps -f "name=redis.1" redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
qihejybwf1x5 redis.1 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
The node filter matches on a node name or a node ID.
$ docker service ps -f "node=manager1" redis
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
0qihejybwf1x redis.1 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
1x0v8yomsncd redis.5 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
3w1wu13yupln redis.9 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
8eaxrb2fqpbn redis.10 redis:3.0.6 manager1 Running Running 8 seconds
The desired-state filter can take the values running, shutdown, or accepted.
The formatting options (--format) pretty-prints tasks output using a Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
.ID | Task ID |
.Name | Task name |
.Image | Task image |
.Node | Node ID |
.DesiredState | Desired state of the task (running, shutdown, or accepted) |
.CurrentState | Current state of the task |
.Error | Error |
.Ports | Task published ports |
When using the --format option, the service ps command will either output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the table directive, includes column headers as well.
The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the Name and Image entries separated by a colon for all tasks:
$ docker service ps --format "{{.Name}}: {{.Image}}" top
top.1: busybox
top.2: busybox
top.3: busybox
