nomad operator snapshot filter command reference

The operator snapshot filter command removes selected entries from an existing snapshot file created by the operator snapshot save command. This is useful for situations where you need to remove objects from a snapshot you want to restore to a cluster, or to remove a large amount of pending evals when recovering a cluster from an outage.

This command creates a copy of the original file to filter. It accepts an optional second argument to specify an output file path.

Usage

nomad operator snapshot filter [options] <input file> [<output file>]

Options

• -include: Specifies a filter expression used to process the snapshot. Only objects that match the -include filter will be included. If this is combined with -exclude-types, an object must match the -include expression and not be one of the -exclude-types to appear in the resulting snapshot.

• -exclude-enterprise: Specifies removing all Nomad Enterprise objects from the snapshot. (Requires a Nomad Enterprise binary.)

• -exclude-types: Specifies a list of comma-separated numeric internal type IDs to exclude from the snapshot. You can find SnapshotType IDs in the Nomad source code at nomad/fsm.go. If this is combined with -exclude-types, an object must match the -include expression and not be one of the -exclude-types to appear in the resulting snapshot.
