NAME

       knife-status - The man page for the knife status subcommand.

       The knife status subcommand is used to display a brief summary of the
       nodes on a Chef server, including the time of the most recent
       successful chef-client run.

       Syntax

       This subcommand has the following syntax:

          $ knife status (options)

       Options

       This subcommand has the following options:

       -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
              The configuration file to use.

       --chef-zero-port PORT
              The port on which chef-zero will listen.

       --[no-]color
              Use to view colored output.

       -d, --disable-editing
              Use to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept data
              as-is.

       --defaults
              Use to have Knife use the default value instead of asking a user
              to provide one.

       -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR
              The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.

       -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT
              The name of the environment. When this option is added to a
              command, the command will run only against the named
              environment.

       -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
              The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp.

       -h, --help
              Shows help for the command.

       -H, --hide-healthy
              Use to hide nodes on which a chef-client run has occurred within
              the previous hour.

       -k KEY, --key KEY
              The private key that Knife will use to sign requests made by the
              API client to the Chef server.

       --print-after
              Use to show data after a destructive operation.

       SEARCH_QUERY
              The search query used to identify a a list of items on a Chef
              server. This option uses the same syntax as the search
              sub-command.

       -r RUN_LIST, --run-list RUN_LIST
              A comma-separated list of roles and/or recipes to be applied.

       -s, --sort-reverse
              Use to sort a list by last run time, descending.

       --server-url URL
              The URL for the Chef server.

       -u USER, --user USER
              The user name used by Knife to sign requests made by the API
              client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the user
              name does not match the private key.

       -v, --version
              The version of the chef-client.

       -V, --verbose
              Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity.

       -y, --yes
              Use to respond to all confirmation prompts with "Yes". Knife
              will not ask for confirmation.

       -z, --local-mode
              Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows all
              commands that work against the Chef server to also work against
              the local chef-repo.
