# Consul Maint
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul maint`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `maint` command provides control of both service and node maintenance mode.
|
|
|
|
|
Using the command, it is possible to mark a service provided by a node or the
|
|
|
|
|
node as a whole as "under maintenance". In this mode of operation, the service
|
|
|
|
|
or node will not appear in DNS query results, or API results. This effectively
|
|
|
|
|
takes the service or node out of the pool of available "healthy" nodes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, maintenance mode is activated by registering a health check in
|
|
|
|
|
critical status against a node or service, and deactivated by deregistering the
|
|
|
|
|
health check.

#### Command Options

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-enable` - Enable maintenance mode on a given service or node. If
|
|
|
|
|
combined with the `-service` flag, we operate on a specific service ID.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, node maintenance mode is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-disable` - Disable maintenance mode on a given service or node. If
|
|
|
|
|
combined with the `-service` flag, we operate on a specific service ID.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, node maintenance mode is disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-reason` - An optional reason for placing the node or service into
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance mode. If provided, this reason will be visible in the newly-
|
|
|
|
|
registered critical check's "Notes" field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-service` - An optional service ID to control node maintenance mode for. By
|
|
|
|
|
providing this flag, the `-enable` and `-disable` flags functionality is
|
|
|
|
|
modified to operate on the given service ID.

|
## List mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If neither `-enable` nor `-disable` are passed, the `maint` command will
|
|
|
|
|
switch to "list mode", displaying any current maintenances. This may return
|
|
|
|
|
blank if nothing is currently under maintenance. The output will look like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ consul maint
|
|
|
|
|
Node:
|
|
|
|
|
Name: node1.local
|
|
|
|
|
Reason: This node is broken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Service:
|
|
|
|
|
ID: redis
|
|
|
|
|
Reason: Redis is currently offline.
|
|
|
|
|
```
