# Consul Members

Command: `consul members`

The `members` command outputs the current list of members that a Consul
agent knows about, along with their state. The state of a node can only
be "alive", "left", or "failed".

Nodes in the "failed" state are still listed because Consul attempts to
reconnect with failed nodes for a certain amount of time in the case
that the failure is actually just a network partition.

## Usage

Usage: `consul members [options]`

* `-detailed` - If provided, output shows more detailed information
  about each node.

* `-status` - If provided, output is filtered to only nodes matching

  in the WAN gossip pool. These are generally all the server nodes in
  each datacenter.
