Describe a Namespace-managed Buildkite queue. Use nsc buildkite queue describe to inspect a queue by its queue ID. The command prints the queue name and ID, Buildkite cluster and organization identifiers, and its configured workload permissions and egress policy.

Usage

Export the queue settings as a spec file

Use --output spec to print only the queue settings, in the format accepted by nsc buildkite queue update --spec_file. This lets you save the current settings, edit them, and apply them again:

Options

—output, -o <plain|json|spec>

Output format. Supported values are:
  • plain: human-readable queue details.
  • json: the full queue as JSON.
  • spec: only the queue settings, as JSON in the format accepted by nsc buildkite queue update --spec_file.
Defaults to plain.
