# ecctl platform allocator list
Returns all allocators that have instances or are connected to the platform.
Use --all flag or --output json to show all. Use --query to match any of the allocators properties.

## Synopsis

Returns all allocators that have instances or are connected to the platform. Use --all flag or --output json to show all. Use --query to match any of the allocators properties.
Query examples:
```
* Allocators set to maintenance mode: --query status.maintenance_mode:true

* Allocators with more than 10GB of capacity: --query capacity.memory.total:\>10240
```

Read all the simple query string syntax in [/elasticsearch/docs/reference/query-languages/query-dsl-query-string-query.md#query-string-syntax](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/query-languages/query-dsl/query-dsl-query-string-query#query-string-syntax)
Filter examples:
```
* Allocators with instance type i3.large : --filter instanceType:i3.large

* Allocators with instance type i3.large AND instance family gcp.highcpu.1 : --filter instanceType:i3.large --filter instanceFamily:gcp.highcpu.1
```

Filter is a post-query action and doesn’t support OR. All filter arguments are applied as AND.
Filter and query flags can be used in combination.
