The command docker Is -a does not list all nodes in a swarm cluster from the command line, but rather lists all containers, both running and stopped, on the current node1. To list all nodes in a swarm cluster, you need to use the command docker node ls from a manager node2. This command shows the node ID, hostname, status, availability, and manager status for each nodein the swarm2. You can also use the --filter option to filter the output based on various criteria2. References: Docker Documentation, docker node ls
