## 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 defintion files:
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description | Default | Required |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `Name` | String value that specifies the name of partiion 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"
|
|
```
|
|
|
