## Description

Returns information about a node. By default, this command renders all results
in a JSON array. You can specify an alternate format to execute a
given template for each result. Go's
[text/template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template) package describes all the
details of the format.

> **Note**
>
> This is a cluster management command, and must be executed on a swarm
> manager node. To learn about managers and workers, refer to the
> [Swarm mode section](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) in the
> documentation.

## Examples

### Inspect a node

```console
$ docker node inspect swarm-manager
