Consul Reload

Command: consul reload

The leave command triggers a reload of configuration files for the agent.

The SIGHUP signal is usually used to trigger a reload of configurations, but in some cases it may be more convenient to trigger the CLI instead.

This command operates the same as the signal, meaning that it will trigger a reload, but does not wait for the reload to complete. Any errors with the reload will be present in the agent logs and not in the output of this command.

Usage

Usage: consul reload

The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:

  • -rpc-addr - Address to the RPC server of the agent you want to contact to send this command. If this isn't specified, the command will contact "127.0.0.1:8400" which is the default RPC address of a Consul agent.
