# 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 be 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
|
|
* [`/v1/operator/keyring`](#keyring): Operates on gossip keyring
|
|
* [`/v1/operator/autopilot/configuration`](#autopilot-configuration): Operates on the Autopilot configuration
|
|
* [`/v1/operator/autopilot/health`](#autopilot-health): Returns the health of the servers
|
|
|
|
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. 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.
|
|
|
|
### <a name="keyring"></a> /v1/operator/keyring
|
|
|
|
Available in Consul 0.7.2 and later, the keyring endpoint supports the
|
|
`GET`, `POST`, `PUT` and `DELETE` methods.
|
|
|
|
This endpoint supports the use of ACL tokens using either the `X-CONSUL-TOKEN`
|
|
header or the `?token=` query parameter.
|
|
|
|
Added in Consul 0.7.4, this endpoint supports the `?relay-factor=` query parameter.
|
|
See the [Keyring Command](/docs/commands/keyring.html#_relay_factor) for more details.
|
|
|
|
#### GET Method
|
|
|
|
Using the `GET` method, this endpoint will list the gossip encryption keys
|
|
installed on both the WAN and LAN rings of every known datacenter. There is more
|
|
information on gossip encryption available
|
|
[here](/docs/agent/encryption.html#gossip-encryption).
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
|
|
[`keyring`](/docs/internals/acl.html#keyring) read privileges.
|
|
|
|
A JSON body is returned that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
[
|
|
{
|
|
"WAN": true,
|
|
"Datacenter": "dc1",
|
|
"Keys": {
|
|
"0eK8RjnsGC/+I1fJErQsBA==": 1,
|
|
"G/3/L4yOw3e5T7NTvuRi9g==": 1,
|
|
"z90lFx3sZZLtTOkutXcwYg==": 1
|
|
},
|
|
"NumNodes": 1
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"WAN": false,
|
|
"Datacenter": "dc1",
|
|
"Keys": {
|
|
"0eK8RjnsGC/+I1fJErQsBA==": 1,
|
|
"G/3/L4yOw3e5T7NTvuRi9g==": 1,
|
|
"z90lFx3sZZLtTOkutXcwYg==": 1
|
|
},
|
|
"NumNodes": 1
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`WAN` is true if the block refers to the WAN ring of that datacenter (rather than
|
|
LAN).
|
|
|
|
`Datacenter` is the datacenter the block refers to.
|
|
|
|
`Keys` is a map of each gossip key to the number of nodes it's currently installed
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
`NumNodes` is the total number of nodes in the datacenter.
|
|
|
|
#### POST Method
|
|
|
|
Using the `POST` method, this endpoint will install a new gossip encryption key
|
|
into the cluster. There is more information on gossip encryption available
|
|
[here](/docs/agent/encryption.html#gossip-encryption).
|
|
|
|
The `POST` method expects a JSON request body to be submitted. The request
|
|
body must look like:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"Key": "3lg9DxVfKNzI8O+IQ5Ek+Q=="
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Key` field is mandatory and provides the encryption key to install into the
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
|
|
[`keyring`](/docs/internals/acl.html#keyring) write privileges.
|
|
|
|
The return code will indicate success or failure.
|
|
|
|
#### PUT Method
|
|
|
|
Using the `PUT` method, this endpoint will change the primary gossip encryption
|
|
key. The key must already be installed before this operation can succeed. There
|
|
is more information on gossip encryption available
|
|
[here](/docs/agent/encryption.html#gossip-encryption).
|
|
|
|
The `PUT` method expects a JSON request body to be submitted. The request
|
|
body must look like:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"Key": "3lg9DxVfKNzI8O+IQ5Ek+Q=="
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Key` field is mandatory and provides the primary encryption key to begin
|
|
using.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
|
|
[`keyring`](/docs/internals/acl.html#keyring) write privileges.
|
|
|
|
The return code will indicate success or failure.
|
|
|
|
#### DELETE Method
|
|
|
|
Using the `DELETE` method, this endpoint will remove a gossip encryption key from
|
|
the cluster. This operation may only be performed on keys which are not currently
|
|
the primary key. There is more information on gossip encryption available
|
|
[here](/docs/agent/encryption.html#gossip-encryption).
|
|
|
|
The `DELETE` method expects a JSON request body to be submitted. The request
|
|
body must look like:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
"Key": "3lg9DxVfKNzI8O+IQ5Ek+Q=="
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Key` field is mandatory and provides the encryption key to remove from the
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
|
|
[`keyring`](/docs/internals/acl.html#keyring) write privileges.
|
|
|
|
The return code will indicate success or failure.
|
|
|
|
### <a name="autopilot-configuration"></a> /v1/operator/autopilot/configuration
|
|
|
|
Available in Consul 0.8.0 and later, the autopilot configuration endpoint supports the
|
|
`GET` and `PUT` methods.
|
|
|
|
This endpoint supports the use of ACL tokens using either the `X-CONSUL-TOKEN`
|
|
header or the `?token=` query parameter.
|
|
|
|
By default, the datacenter of the agent is queried; however, the `dc` can be
|
|
provided using the `?dc=` query parameter.
|
|
|
|
#### GET Method
|
|
|
|
When using the `GET` method, the request will be forwarded to the cluster
|
|
leader to retrieve its latest Autopilot 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.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with

#### PUT Method
|
|
|
|
Using the `PUT` method, this endpoint will update the Autopilot configuration
|
|
of the cluster.
|
|
|
|
The `?cas=<index>` can optionally be specified to update the configuration as a
|
|
Check-And-Set operation. The update will only happen if the given index matches
|
|
the `ModifyIndex` of the configuration at the time of writing.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, the client will need to supply an ACL Token with
|
|
[`operator`](/docs/internals/acl.html#operator) write privileges.

|
|
|
|
`Healthy` is whether all the servers are currently heathly.
|
|
|
|
`FailureTolerance` is the number of redundant healthy servers that could be fail
|
|
without causing an outage (this would be 2 in a healthy cluster of 5 servers).
