# Node Details

A scale group's nodes are launched and terminated automatically by the Scaler as your policy dictates. Two tabs on the details page let you inspect them: **Active Node Details** for nodes that are currently running, and **Terminated Node Details** for nodes the Scaler has removed. Both tabs are shown when the group is **Running** or **Scaling**.

## Active Node Details

This tab lists every node the Scaler is currently running for the group.

| Column          | What it shows                                    |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Scale Node Name | The node's name.                                 |
| Public IP       | The node's public IP, or **N/A** if it has none. |
| Private IP      | The node's private IP.                           |
| Status          | The node's current state.                        |
| Action          | The per-node action menu.                        |

**Access Console** — open the **Action** menu for a node and select **Access Console** to open a console session to that node. This option is available only while the node is **Running**.

A **Resize Service** button on this tab opens the same resize flow described in [Scale Group Actions](/docs/myaccount/auto-scaling/manage/actions#resize-service); it is enabled only when the group is **Running**.

## Terminated Node Details

This tab lists nodes the Scaler has removed. As the note on the tab explains, _group nodes are created and terminated by the Scaler based on the upscaling and downscaling policy._

| Column          | What it shows                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Scale Node Name | The terminated node's name.                    |
| Created At      | When the Scaler launched the node.             |
| Terminated At   | When the Scaler removed the node.              |
| Usage           | How long the node ran (its billable lifetime). |
| Public IP       | The public IP the node held, if any.           |

:::note
You are billed for each node from its **Created At** time to its **Terminated At** time, on an hourly basis. The Terminated Node Details tab is the record of those billable lifetimes.
