Command: graph

The terraform graph command is used to generate a visual representation of either a configuration or execution plan. The output is in the DOT format, which can be used by GraphViz to generate charts.

Usage

Usage: terraform graph [options] [DIR]

Outputs the visual dependency graph of Terraform resources according to configuration files in DIR (or the current directory if omitted).

The graph is outputted in DOT format. The typical program that can read this format is GraphViz, but many web services are also available to read this format.

Options:

  • -draw-cycles - Highlight any cycles in the graph with colored edges. This helps when diagnosing cycle errors.

  • -module-depth=n - The maximum depth to expand modules. By default this is zero, which will not expand modules at all.

  • -verbose - Generate a verbose, "worst-case" graph, with all nodes for potential operations in place.

Generating Images

The output of terraform graph is in the DOT format, which can easily be converted to an image by making use of dot provided by GraphViz:

$ terraform graph | dot -Tpng > graph.png

Alternatively, the web-based GraphViz Workspace can be used to quickly render DOT file inputs as well.

Here is an example graph output: Graph Example
