Corresponding HTTP API Endpoints: [\[GET\] /v1/coordinate/datacenters](/consul/api-docs/coordinate#read-wan-coordinates), [\[GET\] /v1/coordinate/nodes](/consul/api-docs/coordinate#read-lan-coordinates-for-all-nodes)

|
|
The `rtt` command estimates the network round trip time between two nodes using
|
|
|
|
|
Consul's network coordinate model of the cluster.

## Usage

|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-16 19:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Usage: `consul rtt [options] node1 [node2]`
|
2015-10-16 07:03:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-10-16 19:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
At least one node name is required. If the second node name isn't given, it
|
2016-11-25 16:00:02 +00:00
|
|
|
is set to the agent's node name. These are the node names as known to
|
|
|
|
|
Consul as the `consul members` command would show, not IP addresses.

If coordinates are available, the command will print the estimated round trip
|
|
|
|
|
time between the given nodes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
|
|
|
$ consul rtt n1 n2
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated n1 <-> n2 rtt: 0.610 ms (using LAN coordinates)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ consul rtt n2 # Running from n1
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated n1 <-> n2 rtt: 0.610 ms (using LAN coordinates)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ consul rtt -wan n1.dc1 n2.dc2
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated n1.dc1 <-> n2.dc2 rtt: 1.275 ms (using WAN coordinates)
|
|
|
|
|
```

|
- `-wan` - Instructs the command to use WAN coordinates instead of LAN
|
2015-10-16 19:45:25 +00:00
|
|
|
coordinates. By default, the two nodes are assumed to be nodes in the local
|
|
|
|
|
datacenter and the LAN coordinates are used. If the -wan option is given,
|
|
|
|
|
then the WAN coordinates are used, and the node names must be suffixed by a period
|
2015-10-22 00:29:43 +00:00
|
|
|
and the datacenter (eg. "myserver.dc1"). It is not possible to measure between
|
2017-03-14 05:56:24 +00:00
|
|
|
LAN coordinates and WAN coordinates, so both nodes must be in the same area.
