# Viewing QoS Policies

- [Viewing QoS Policies in VAST Web UI](/docs-5-5/docs/viewing-qos-policies#viewing-qos-policies-in-vast-web-ui)
- [Viewing QoS Policies in VAST CLI](/docs-5-5/docs/viewing-qos-policies#viewing-qos-policies-in-vast-cli)

## Viewing QoS Policies in VAST Web UI

- From the left navigation menu, select Element Store and then QoS Policies.

The QoS Policies page shows a list of QoS policies created on the VAST cluster.

For each QoS policy, the following information can be displayed:
  - ID

The ID of the QoS policy.
  - Name

The name of the QoS policy.
  - Mode

Indicates whether capacity-based limits are set:

    - *Static*. Capacity-based limits are not set.
    - *Used Capacity*. Capacity-based limits are set per unit of used logical capacity.
    - *Provisioned Capacity*. In view QoS policies, capacity-based limits are set per unit of logical capacity provisioned by the soft limit of a quota on the view path.
  - Limit By

Specifies which performance characteristics(s) are limited by the QoS policy:

    - *BW and IOPS*. Both bandwidth (BW) and I/O per second (IOPS) is limited.
    - *BW*. Only bandwidth is limited.
    - *IOPS*. Only IOPS is limited.
  - Type

Indicates whether the QoS policy is intended to provision performance for views (*View*), block volumes (*Volume*), or users (*User*).
  - Priority

Indicates whether the QoS policy is prioritized.

## Viewing QoS Policies in VAST CLI

To view all QoS policies, run the [qospolicy list](/docs-5-5/docs/qospolicy-list) command. To view details of a specific QoS policy, run the [qospolicy show](/docs-5-5/docs/qospolicy-show) command.
