     9  # Command: state list
    10  
    11  The `terraform state list` command is used to list resources within a
    12  [Terraform state](/docs/state/index.html).
    13  
    14  ## Usage
    15  
    16  Usage: `terraform state list [options] [address...]`
    17  
    18  The command will list all resources in the state file matching the given
    19  addresses (if any). If no addresses are given, all resources are listed.
    20  
    21  The resources listed are sorted according to module depth order followed
    22  by alphabetical. This means that resources that are in your immediate
    23  configuration are listed first, and resources that are more deeply nested
    24  within modules are listed last.
    25  
    26  For complex infrastructures, the state can contain thousands of resources.
    27  To filter these, provide one or more patterns to the command. Patterns are
    28  in [resource addressing format](/docs/commands/state/addressing.html).
    29  
    30  The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
    31  
    32  * `-state=path` - Path to the state file. Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".
    33    Ignored when [remote state](/docs/state/remote.html) is used.
    34  * `-id=id` - ID of resources to show. Ignored when unset.
    35  
    36  ## Example: All Resources
    37  
    38  This example will list all resources, including modules:
    39  
    40  ```
    41  $ terraform state list
    42  aws_instance.foo
    43  aws_instance.bar[0]
    44  aws_instance.bar[1]
    45  module.elb.aws_elb.main
    46  ```
    47  
    48  ## Example: Filtering by Resource
    49  
    50  This example will only list resources for the given name:
    51  
    52  ```
    53  $ terraform state list aws_instance.bar
    54  aws_instance.bar[0]
    55  aws_instance.bar[1]
    56  ```
    57  
    58  ## Example: Filtering by Module
    59  
    60  This example will only list resources in the given module:
    61  
    62  ```
    63  $ terraform state list module.elb
    64  module.elb.aws_elb.main
    65  ```
    66  
    67  ## Example: Filtering by ID
    68  
    69  This example will only list the resource whose ID is specified on the
    70  command line. This is useful to find where in your configuration a
    71  specific resource is located.
    72  
    73  ```
    74  $ terraform state list -id=sg-1234abcd
    75  module.elb.aws_security_group.sg
    76  ```
