# list-service-discovery-mechanisms

Lists existing Service Discovery Mechanisms.

In addition to the global `dsconfig` options, the `dsconfig list-service-discovery-mechanisms` subcommand takes the following options:

* `-m | --unit-time {unit}`

  Display time data using the specified unit. The value for UNIT can be one of ms, s, m, h, d, w, or y (milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or years).

* `--property {property}`

  The name of a property to be displayed.

* `-z | --unit-size {unit}`

  Display size data using the specified unit. The value for UNIT can be one of b, kb, mb, gb, or tb (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes).

Properties used in options depend on the type of object to configure.
