# hosts list

Command: `boundary hosts list`

The `boundary hosts list` command lets you list the Boundary hosts within a given scope or resource.

## Example

This example lists all hosts within the host catalog `_1234567890`:

```shell-session
$ boundary hosts list -host-catalog-id _1234567890
```

## Usage

<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard>

```shell-session
$ boundary hosts list [options] [args]
```

</CodeBlockConfig>

### Command options

- `-filter=<string>` - If set, Boundary filters the list operation before the results are returned.
The filter operates against each item in the list.
We recommend that you use single quotes, because the filters contain double quotes.
Refer to the [Filter resource listings documentation](/boundary/docs/concepts/filtering/resource-listing) for more details.
- `-host-catalog-id=<string>` - The host catalog resource to use to produce the list.
You can also specify the host catalog using the **BOUNDARY_HOST_CATALOG_ID** environment variable.
- `list_token` (optional) - An opaque token that is returned from the previous `list` response.
If you do not supply a value, pagination starts from the beginning.
- `page_size` (optional) - An unsigned integer that indicates the number of items that should be included on the page of search results.
If you do not provide a value, or if you provide a value of `0`, Boundary uses the default page size of 1000 items.
If you configure it, the `page_size` value overrides the default page size.
Controller administrators can also configure a `max_page_size` option that constrains the maximum page size a user can request.
