# Getting NAT gateway info

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the [folder](../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) containing the [NAT gateway](../concepts/gateways.md).
  1. Navigate to **Virtual Private Cloud**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/arrows-opposite-to-dots.svg) **Gateways**.
  1. Select the NAT gateway you need.
  1. The **Overview** page will display detailed information about the NAT gateway.

- CLI {#cli}

  If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

  The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id <folder_ID>` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. View the description of the [CLI](../../cli/index.md) command to get information about a [NAT gateway](../concepts/gateways.md):

     ```bash
     yc vpc gateway get --help
     ```

  1. Get information about your NAT gateway by specifying its name or ID:

     ```bash
     yc vpc gateway get <NAT_gateway_name_or_ID>
     ```

     Result:

     ```text
     id: enpkq1v2e7p0********
     folder_id: b1go79qlt1tp********
     created_at: "2024-04-23T16:34:53Z"
     name: test-gateway
     shared_egress_gateway: {}
     ```

- Terraform {#tf}

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the guides on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  To get information about a [NAT gateway](../concepts/gateways.md) using Terraform:
  1. Add the `data` and `output` sections to the Terraform configuration file:

     ```hcl
     data "yandex_vpc_gateway" "default" {
       gateway_id = "<NAT_gateway_ID>"
     }

     output "gateway" {
       value = data.yandex_vpc_gateway.default.created_at
     }
     ```

     Where:
     * `data "yandex_vpc_gateway"`: Description of the NAT gateway as a data source:
       * `gateway_id`: NAT gateway ID.
     * `output "gateway"`: Output variable containing information about the NAT gateway creation time:
       * `value`: Return value.

     You can replace `created_at` with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the `yandex_vpc_gateway` data source properties, see [this provider guide](../../terraform/data-sources/vpc_gateway.md).
  1. Create resources:

     1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
     1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
     
        ```bash
        terraform validate
        ```
     
        If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
     
        ```bash
        Success! The configuration is valid.
        ```
     
     1. Run this command:
     
        ```bash
        terraform plan
        ```
     
        You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
     1. Apply the configuration changes:
     
        ```bash
        terraform apply
        ```
     
     1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

     Terraform will create all required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

     ```bash
     terraform output
     ```

     Result:

     ```text
     gateway = "2024-04-23T16:34:53Z"
     ```

- API {#api}

  To get detailed information about a [NAT gateway](../concepts/gateways.md), use the [get](../api-ref/Gateway/get.md) REST API method for the [Gateway](../api-ref/Gateway/index.md) resource or the [GatewayService/Get](../api-ref/grpc/Gateway/get.md) gRPC API call and provide the NAT gateway ID in the `gatewayId` request parameter.

   To get the NAT gateway ID, use the [list](../api-ref/Gateway/list.md) REST API method for the [Gateway](../api-ref/Gateway/index.md) resource or the [GatewayService/List](../api-ref/grpc/Gateway/list.md) gRPC API call. In your request, provide the folder ID in the `folderId` parameter.

   To learn how to find out the folder ID, see [Getting the folder ID](../../resource-manager/operations/folder/get-id.md).
