@ -32,6 +32,10 @@ FEATURES:
quorum. This version also provides a foundation for new features that will
appear in future Consul versions once the remainder of the v2 library is
complete. [GH-2222]
* Added new `consul operator` command, HTTP endpoint, and associated ACL to
allow Consul operators to view and update the Raft configuration. This allows
for a stale server to be removed without requiring downtime and peers.json
recovery file use. [GH-2312]
* Extended the [`translate_wan_addrs`](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#translate_wan_addrs)
config option to also translate node addresses in HTTP responses, making it easy
to use this feature from non-DNS clients. [GH-2118]
@ -54,6 +58,9 @@ BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:
* `skip_leave_on_interrupt`'s default behavior is now dependent on whether or
not the agent is acting as a server or client. When Consul is started as a
server the default is `true` and `false` when a client. [GH-1909]
* `allow_stale` for DNS queries now defaults to `true`, allowing for better
utilization of available Consul servers and higher throughput at the exponse of
weaker consistency. [GH-2315]
* HTTP check output is truncated to 4k, similar to script check output. [GH-1952]
* Consul's Go API client will now send ACL tokens using HTTP headers instead of
query parameters, requiring Consul 0.6.0 or later. [GH-2233]

There are rare cases where a peer may be left behind in the Raft quorum even
though the server is no longer present and known to the cluster. This
command can be used to remove the failed server so that it is no longer

# Operator HTTP Endpoint
The Operator endpoint provides cluster-level tools for Consul operators, such
as interacting with the Raft subsystem. This was added in Consul 0.7.
~> Use this interface with extreme caution, as improper use could lead to a Consul
outage and even loss of data.
If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may required in
order to use this interface. See the [ACL](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator)
internals guide for more information.
See the [Outage Recovery](/docs/guides/outage.html) guide for some examples of how
these capabilities are used. For a CLI to perform these operations manually, please
see the documentation for the [`consul operator`](/docs/commands/operator.html)
command.
The following endpoints are supported:
* [`/v1/operator/raft/configuration`](#raft-configuration): Inspects the Raft configuration
* [`/v1/operator/raft/peer`](#raft-peer): Operates on Raft peers
Not all endpoints support blocking queries and all consistency modes,
see details in the sections below.
The operator endpoints support the use of ACL Tokens. See the
[ACL](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator) internals guide for more information.
### <a name="raft-configuration"></a> /v1/operator/raft/configuration
The Raft configuration endpoint supports the `GET` method.
#### GET Method
When using the `GET` method, the request will be forwarded to the cluster
leader to retrieve its latest Raft peer configuration.
If the cluster doesn't currently have a leader an error will be returned. You
can use the "?stale" query parameter to read the Raft configuration from any
of the Consul servers.
By default, the datacenter of the agent is queried; however, the `dc` can be
provided using the "?dc=" query parameter.
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
[`operator`](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator) read privileges.
A JSON body is returned that looks like this:
```javascript
{
"Servers": [
{
"ID": "127.0.0.1:8300",
"Node": "alice",
"Address": "127.0.0.1:8300",
"Leader": true,
"Voter": true
},
{
"ID": "127.0.0.2:8300",
"Node": "bob",
"Address": "127.0.0.2:8300",
"Leader": false,
"Voter": true
},
{
"ID": "127.0.0.3:8300",
"Node": "carol",
"Address": "127.0.0.3:8300",
"Leader": false,
"Voter": true
}
],
"Index": 22
}
```
The `Servers` array has information about the servers in the Raft peer
configuration:
`ID` is the ID of the server. This is the same as the `Address` in Consul 0.7
but may be upgraded to a GUID in a future version of Consul.
`Node` is the node name of the server, as known to Consul, or "(unknown)" if
the node is stale and not known.
`Address` is the IP:port for the server.
`Leader` is either "true" or "false" depending on the server's role in the
Raft configuration.
`Voter` is "true" or "false", indicating if the server has a vote in the Raft
configuration. Future versions of Consul may add support for non-voting servers.
The `Index` value is the Raft corresponding to this configuration. Note that
the latest configuration may not yet be committed if changes are in flight.
### <a name="raft-peer"></a> /v1/operator/raft/peer
The Raft peer endpoint supports the `DELETE` method.
#### DELETE Method
Using the `DELETE` method, this endpoint will remove the Consul server with
given address from the Raft configuration.
There are rare cases where a peer may be left behind in the Raft configuration
even though the server is no longer present and known to the cluster. This
endpoint can be used to remove the failed server so that it is no longer
affects the Raft quorum.
An "?address=" query parameter is required and should be set to the
"IP:port" for the server to remove. The port number is usually 8300, unless
configured otherwise. Nothing is required in the body of the request.
By default, the datacenter of the agent is targeted; however, the `dc` can be
provided using the "?dc=" query parameter.
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
[`operator`](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator) write privileges.
The return code will indicate success or failure.

By default, this is false, meaning all requests are serviced by the leader, providing stronger

In versions of Consul prior to 0.7, this defaulted to false, meaning all requests are serviced

# Consul Operator
Command: `consul operator`
The `operator` command provides cluster-level tools for Consul operators, such
as interacting with the Raft subsystem. This was added in Consul 0.7.
~> Use this command with extreme caution, as improper use could lead to a Consul
outage and even loss of data.
If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may required in
order to use this command. Requests are forwarded internally to the leader
if required, so this can be run from any Consul node in a cluster. See the
[ACL](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator) internals guide for more information.
See the [Outage Recovery](/docs/guides/outage.html) guide for some examples of how
this command is used. For an API to perform these operations programatically,
please see the documentation for the [Operator](/docs/agent/http/operator.html)
endpoint.
## Usage
Usage: `consul operator <subcommand> [common options] [action] [options]`
Run `consul operator <subcommand>` with no arguments for help on that
subcommand. The following subcommands are available:
* `raft` - View and modify Consul's Raft configuration.
Options common to all subcommands include:
* `-http-addr` - Address to the HTTP server of the agent you want to contact
to send this command. If this isn't specified, the command will contact
"127.0.0.1:8500" which is the default HTTP address of a Consul agent.
* `-token` - ACL token to use. Defaults to that of agent.
## Raft Operations
The `raft` subcommand is used to view and modify Consul's Raft configuration.
Two actions are available, as detailed in this section.
<a name="raft-list-peers"></a>
#### Display Peer Configuration
This action displays the current Raft peer configuration.
Usage: `raft -list-peers -stale=[true|false]`
* `-stale` - Optional and defaults to "false" which means the leader provides
the result. If the cluster is in an outage state without a leader, you may need
to set this to "true" to get the configuration from a non-leader server.
The output looks like this:
```
Node ID Address State Voter
alice 127.0.0.1:8300 127.0.0.1:8300 follower true
bob 127.0.0.2:8300 127.0.0.2:8300 leader true
carol 127.0.0.3:8300 127.0.0.3:8300 follower true
```
`Node` is the node name of the server, as known to Consul, or "(unknown)" if
the node is stale and not known.
`ID` is the ID of the server. This is the same as the `Address` in Consul 0.7
but may be upgraded to a GUID in a future version of Consul.
`Address` is the IP:port for the server.
`State` is either "follower" or "leader" depending on the server's role in the
Raft configuration.
`Voter` is "true" or "false", indicating if the server has a vote in the Raft
configuration. Future versions of Consul may add support for non-voting servers.
<a name="raft-remove-peer"></a>
#### Remove a Peer
This command removes Consul server with given address from the Raft configuration.
There are rare cases where a peer may be left behind in the Raft configuration
even though the server is no longer present and known to the cluster. This command
can be used to remove the failed server so that it is no longer affects the
Raft quorum. If the server still shows in the output of the
[`consul members`](/docs/commands/members.html) command, it is preferable to
clean up by simply running
[`consul force-leave`](http://localhost:4567/docs/commands/force-leave.html)
instead of this command.
Usage: `raft -remove-peer -address="IP:port"`
* `-address` - "IP:port" for the server to remove. The port number is usually
8300, unless configured otherwise.
The return code will indicate success or failure.

## Failure of a Server in a Multi-Server Cluster
If you think the failed server is recoverable, the easiest option is to bring
it back online and have it rejoin the cluster, returning the cluster to a fully
healthy state. Similarly, even if you need to rebuild a new Consul server to
replace the failed node, you may wish to do that immediately. Keep in mind that
the rebuilt server needs to have the same IP as the failed server. Again, once
this server is online, the cluster will return to a fully healthy state.

new Consul server to replace the failed node, you may wish to do that immediately.
Keep in mind that the rebuilt server needs to have the same IP address as the failed
server. Again, once this server is online and has rejoined, the cluster will return
to a fully healthy state.
Both of these strategies involve a potentially lengthy time to reboot or rebuild
a failed server. If this is impractical or if building a new server with the same
IP isn't an option, you need to remove the failed server. Usually, you can issue
a [`force-leave`](/docs/commands/force-leave.html) command to remove the failed
a [`consul force-leave`](/docs/commands/force-leave.html) command to remove the failed
server if it's still a member of the cluster.
If the `force-leave` isn't able to remove the server, you can remove it manually
using the `raft/peers.json` recovery file on all remaining servers.
If [`consul force-leave`](/docs/commands/force-leave.html) isn't able to remove the
server, you have two methods available to remove it, depending on your version of Consul:
* In Consul 0.7 and later, you can use the [`consul operator`](/docs/commands/operator.html#raft-remove-peer)
command to remove the stale peer server on the fly with no downtime.
* In versions of Consul prior to 0.7, you can manually remove the stale peer
server using the `raft/peers.json` recovery file on all remaining servers. See
the [section below](#peers.json) for details on this procedure. This process
requires a Consul downtime to complete.
In Consul 0.7 and later, you can use the [`consul operator`](/docs/commands/operator.html#raft-list-peers)
command to inspect the Raft configuration:
```
$ consul operator raft -list-peers
Node ID Address State Voter
alice 10.0.1.8:8300 10.0.1.8:8300 follower true
bob 10.0.1.6:8300 10.0.1.6:8300 leader true
carol 10.0.1.7:8300 10.0.1.7:8300 follower true
```
## Failure of Multiple Servers in a Multi-Server Cluster
In the event that multiple servers are lost, causing a loss of quorum and a
complete outage, partial recovery is possible using data on the remaining
servers in the cluster. There may be data loss in this situation because multiple
servers were lost, so information about what's committed could be incomplete.
The recovery process implicitly commits all outstanding Raft log entries, so
it's also possible to commit data that was uncommitted before the failure.
See the [section below](#peers.json) for details of the recovery procedure. You
simply include just the remaining servers in the `raft/peers.json` recovery file.
The cluster should be able to elect a leader once the remaining servers are all
restarted with an identical `raft/peers.json` configuration.
Any new servers you introduce later can be fresh with totally clean data directories
and joined using Consul's `join` command.
In extreme cases, it should be possible to recover with just a single remaining
server by starting that single server with itself as the only peer in the
`raft/peers.json` recovery file.
Note that prior to Consul 0.7 it wasn't always possible to recover from certain
types of outages with `raft/peers.json` because this was ingested before any Raft
log entries were played back. In Consul 0.7 and later, the `raft/peers.json`
recovery file is final, and a snapshot is taken after it is ingested, so you are
guaranteed to start with your recovered configuration. This does implicitly commit
all Raft log entries, so should only be used to recover from an outage, but it
should allow recovery from any situation where there's some cluster data available.

You should verify that one server claims to be the `Leader` and all the
others should be in the `Follower` state. All the nodes should agree on the
peer count as well. This count is (N-1), since a server does not count itself
as a peer.
