# Viewing the details of a flow
<a name="flows-view-details"></a>

You can view a flow's details, such as ARN, Availability Zone, status, source, entitlements, and outputs.

**To view the details of a flow (console)**

1. Open the MediaConnect console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/).

1. On the **Flows** page, choose the name of the flow that you want to view.

   The details page for that flow appears. This page is divided into the following tabs:
   + The **Source** tab shows details about the source for this flow, including an indication of whether the flow is connected to the source. 
   + The **Outputs** tab shows details for each output that you created for this flow.
   + The **Entitlements** tab shows any entitlements that you have granted on this flow.
   + The **VPC interfaces** tab shows a list of connections that this flow has with virtual private clouds (VPCs) based on the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) service.
   + The **Media streams** tab shows a list of media streams that have been created on this flow. Each media stream represents a different component of a video such as video, audio, ancillary data.
   + The **Alerts** tab shows a log of active alerts on this flow. 

**To view the details of a flow (AWS CLI)**
+ In the AWS CLI, use the `describe-flow` command:

  ```
  aws mediaconnect describe-flow --flow-arn arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:flow:1-23aBC45dEF67hiJ8-12AbC34DE5fG:AwardsShow
  ```

  The following example shows the return value:

  ```
