      --help           Print usage
      --no-resolve     Do not map IDs to Names

Filtering

The filtering flag (-f or --filter) format is of “key=value”. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")

The currently supported filters are:

name
id
label
desired-state

name

The name filter matches on all or part of a task's name.

The following filter matches all tasks with a name containing the redis string.

$ docker node ps -f name=redis swarm-manager1
NAME                                IMAGE        NODE            DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE
redis.1.7q92v0nr1hcgts2amcjyqg3pq   redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 5 hours
redis.6.b465edgho06e318egmgjbqo4o   redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 29 seconds
redis.7.bg8c07zzg87di2mufeq51a2qp   redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 5 seconds
redis.9.dkkual96p4bb3s6b10r7coxxt   redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 5 seconds
redis.10.0tgctg8h8cech4w0k0gwrmr23  redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 5 seconds

id

The id filter matches a task's id.

$ docker node ps -f id=bg8c07zzg87di2mufeq51a2qp swarm-manager1
NAME                                IMAGE        NODE            DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE
redis.7.bg8c07zzg87di2mufeq51a2qp   redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 5 seconds

label

The label filter matches tasks based on the presence of a label alone or a label and a value.

The following filter matches tasks with the usage label regardless of its value.

$ docker node ps -f "label=usage"
NAME                               IMAGE        NODE            DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE
redis.6.b465edgho06e318egmgjbqo4o  redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 10 minutes
redis.7.bg8c07zzg87di2mufeq51a2qp  redis:3.0.6  swarm-manager1  Running        Running 9 minutes

desired-state

The desired-state filter can take the values running, shutdown, and accepted.
