# Consul Admin Partition
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul admin-partition`
|
|
|
|
<EnterpriseAlert />
|
|
|
|
The `admin-partition` command enables you to create and manage Consul Enterprise administrative or admin partitions. Admin partitions are boundaries that allow multiple tenants to exist independently of each other on a shared set of Consul servers. This feature is currently in beta.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may be required in order to use this command.
|
|
|
|
You should only run the `admin-partition` command in the primary datacenter.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition <SUBCOMMAND> <OPTIONS>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Issue the `consul admin-partition -h` command to view the subcommands.
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
Usage: consul admin-partition <subcommand> [options] [args]
|
|
|
|
This command has subcommands for interacting with Consul Enterprise
|
|
admin partitions. Here are some simple examples. More detailed
|
|
examples are available in the subcommands or the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Create an admin partition
|
|
|
|
$ consul admin-partition create -name team1

## Subcommands
|
|
|
|
You can issue the following subcommands with the `consul admin-partition` command.
|
|
|
|
### `create`
|
|
|
|
The `create` subcommand sends a request to the server to create a new admin partition.
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition create <OPTIONS>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The admin partition is created according to the values specified in the options. You can specify the following options:
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description | Default | Required |

|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `-name` | String value that specifies the name for the new partition. | none | Required |

|
|
| `-format` | Specifies how to format the output of the operation in the console. | none | Optional |
|
|
| `-show-meta` | Prints the description and raft indices to the console in the response. <br/> This option does not take a value. Include the option when issuing the command to enable. | Disabled | Optional |
|
|
|
|
In the following example, a partition named `webdev` is created:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition create -name "webdev" -description "Partition for admin of webdev services" -format json -show-meta
|
|
|

|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `write`
|
|
|
|
The `write` subcommand sends a request to the server to create a new admin partition or update an existing partition from its full definition. You can specify an admin partition definition file or use values from `stdin`.
|
|
|
|
Use the following syntax to write from file:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition write <OPTIONS> <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use the following syntax to write from `stdin`:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition write <OPTIONS> -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The definition file or `stdin` values can be provided in JSON or HCL format. Refer to the [Admin Partition Definition](#admin-partition-definition) section for details about the supported parameters.

|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
consul admin-partition write -format json -show-meta - <<< 'name = "webdev-bu" description = "backup webdev partition"'
|
|
|

|
|
|
{
|
|
"Name": "webdev",
|
|
"CreateIndex": 940,

### `delete`
|
|
|
|
The `delete` subcommand sends a request to the server to remove the specified partition.

|
## Admin Partition Definition
|
|
|
|
Admin partitions are managed exclusively through the HTTP API and the Consul CLI. The HTTP API accepts only JSON formatted definitions while the CLI will parse either JSON or HCL.
|
|
|
|
The following parameters are supported in admin partition definition files:
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description | Default | Required |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `Name` | String value that specifies the name of partition you are creating or writing. <br/> The value must be valid DNS hostname value. | none | Required |
|
|
| `Description` | String value that specifies a description for the partition you are creating or writing. <br/> The value should provide human-readable information to help other users understand the purpose of the partition. | none | Optional |
|
|
|
|
### Example Definition File
|
|
|
|
The following example shows an admin partition definition file that could be used with the [`write`](#write) command to create a partition:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
Name = "dev-partition"
|
|
Description = "Partition for dev team"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
| `-ca-file` | Specifies the path to a certificate authority (CA) file when TLS is enabled.<br/> You can also specify `CONSUL_CACERT` as the value if the environment variable is configured. | none | Required if TLS is enabled |

|
| `-stale` | Boolean value that enables any Consul server (non-leader) to respond to the request. <br/>This switch can lower latency and increase throughput, but may result in stale data. This option has no effect on non-read operations. | `false` | Optional |
