+        -------
+        SchedulerInfo
+            A dict-like object with these keys:
+
+            - ``type``: class name of the scheduler, usually ``"Scheduler"``
+            - ``id``: unique identifier of the scheduler
+            - ``address``: address the scheduler listens on
+            - ``services``: mapping of service name (e.g. ``"dashboard"``) to
+              port
+            - ``started``: time the scheduler started, in seconds since the
+              epoch
+            - ``n_workers``: number of workers connected to the scheduler.
+              This counts all workers even when ``n_workers`` limits the
+              ``workers`` entry.
+            - ``total_threads``: sum of ``nthreads`` over all workers
+            - ``total_memory``: sum of ``memory_limit`` over all workers, in
+              bytes
+            - ``workers``: mapping of worker address to a dict describing that
+              worker
+
+            Each worker dict contains:
+
+            - ``type``: always ``"Worker"``
+            - ``id``, ``name``: the worker name; defaults to the address
+            - ``host``: hostname or IP address of the worker
+            - ``resources``: abstract resources the worker provides, see
+              :doc:`resources`
+            - ``local_directory``: scratch directory on the worker's machine
+            - ``nthreads``: number of threads that run tasks
+            - ``memory_limit``: memory limit in bytes, or 0 for no limit
+            - ``last_seen``: time of the last heartbeat the scheduler received
+              from the worker, in seconds since the epoch
+            - ``services``: mapping of service name to port on the worker
+            - ``metrics``: latest metrics from the worker's heartbeat, such as
+              ``"cpu"``, ``"memory"`` (process memory in bytes),
+              ``"task_counts"``, ``"spilled_bytes"`` and ``"transfer"``
+            - ``status``: worker status, e.g. ``"running"`` or
+              ``"closing_gracefully"``
+            - ``nanny``: address of the worker's nanny, or ``None``
+
+            A worker created with ``startup_information`` also reports the
+            result of each of those callables under its own key.
