Questions and answers

Getting information about an instance group

Written by

After creating an instance group, you can get basic information about the group.

You can only use the CLI or API to retrieve user metadata transmitted when creating or editing a group.

To get information about an instance group:

Management console

CLI

API

Open the folder page in the management console.
Select Compute Cloud.
On the left-hand panel, select Instance groups.
Click on the name of the group you need.

If you don't have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

See the description of the CLI's get instance group info command:
```
yc compute instance-group get --help
```

Get a list of instance groups in the default folder:

yc compute instance-group list
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
|          ID          |         NAME          | SIZE |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+
| amc65sbgfqeqf00m02sc | first-instance-group  |    2 |
+----------------------+-----------------------+------+

Select the group ID or NAME (for example, first-instance-group).

Get information about the instance group:

yc compute instance-group get --name first-instance-group

Use the API get method.

To request a list of available groups, use the method listInstances.
