To explore the state and history of a particular stack, you can run a number of commands.
To see which stacks are visible to the current user, run the following command:
$ heat stack-list
+--------------------------------------+---------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | id | stack_name | stack_status | creation_time | +--------------------------------------+---------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | 4c712026-dcd5-4664-90b8-0915494c1332 | mystack | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2013-04-03T23:22:08Z | | 7edc7480-bda5-4e1c-9d5d-f567d3b6a050 | my-otherstack | CREATE_FAILED | 2013-04-03T23:28:20Z | +--------------------------------------+---------------+-----------------+----------------------+
To show the details of a stack, run the following command:
$ heat stack-show mystack
A stack consists of a collection of resources. To list the resources and their status, run the following command:
$ heat resource-list mystack
+---------------------+--------------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | logical_resource_id | resource_type | resource_status | updated_time | +---------------------+--------------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | WikiDatabase | AWS::EC2::Instance | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2013-04-03T23:25:56Z | +---------------------+--------------------+-----------------+----------------------+
To show the details for the specified resource in a stack, run the following command:
$ heat resource-show mystack WikiDatabase
Some resources have associated metadata which can change throughout the life-cycle of a resource:
$ heat resource-metadata mystack WikiDatabase
A series of events is generated during the life-cycle of a stack. This command displays those events:
$ heat event-list mystack
+---------------------+----+------------------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | logical_resource_id | id | resource_status_reason | resource_status | event_time | +---------------------+----+------------------------+-----------------+----------------------+ | WikiDatabase | 1 | state changed | IN_PROGRESS | 2013-04-03T23:22:09Z | | WikiDatabase | 2 | state changed | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2013-04-03T23:25:56Z | +---------------------+----+------------------------+-----------------+----------------------+
To show the details for a particular event, run the following command:
$ heat event-show WikiDatabase 1
