= Checking machine config node status

During the update of a machine config pool (MCP), you can monitor the progress of all of the nodes in your cluster by using the `oc get machineconfignodes` and `oc describe machineconfignodes` commands. These commands provide information that can be helpful if issues arise during the update and you need to troubleshoot a node.

For more information on the meaning of these fields, see "About checking machine config node status."

.Procedure

* View the update status of all nodes in the cluster, including the current and desired machine configurations, by running the following command:

$ oc get machineconfignodes
