> ❗ **IMPORTANT**
>
> This command is not supported on macOS, Windows.

List the brokers in your cluster.

This command lists all brokers in the cluster, active and inactive, unless they have been decommissioned. Using the `--include-decommissioned` flag, it lists decommissioned brokers with associated UUIDs too.

The output table contains the following columns:

| Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ID | Node ID, an exclusive identifier for a broker. |
| HOST | Internal RPC address for communication between brokers. |
| PORT | Internal RPC port for communication between brokers. |
| RACK | Assigned rack ID. |
| CORES | Number of cores (shards) on a broker. |
| MEMBERSHIP | Whether a broker is decommissioned or not. |
| IS-ALIVE | Whether a broker is alive or offline. |
| VERSION | Broker version. |
| UUID | Additional exclusive identifier for a broker (Optional). |

> 📝 **NOTE**
>
> The UUID column is hidden when the cluster doesn’t expose the UUID in the Admin API, or the API call fails to retrieve UUIDs.
