How to check status of Spark applications from the command line?

If it’s for Spark Standalone or Apache Mesos cluster managers, @sb0709’s answer is the way to follow.

For YARN, you should use yarn application command:

$ yarn application -help
usage: application
 -appStates <States>             Works with -list to filter applications
                                 based on input comma-separated list of
                                 application states. The valid application
                                 state can be one of the following:
                                 ALL,NEW,NEW_SAVING,SUBMITTED,ACCEPTED,RUN
                                 NING,FINISHED,FAILED,KILLED
 -appTypes <Types>               Works with -list to filter applications
                                 based on input comma-separated list of
                                 application types.
 -help                           Displays help for all commands.
 -kill <Application ID>          Kills the application.
 -list                           List applications. Supports optional use
                                 of -appTypes to filter applications based
                                 on application type, and -appStates to
                                 filter applications based on application
                                 state.
 -movetoqueue <Application ID>   Moves the application to a different
                                 queue.
 -queue <Queue Name>             Works with the movetoqueue command to
                                 specify which queue to move an
                                 application to.
 -status <Application ID>        Prints the status of the application.
