# Serf Force Leave
Command: `serf force-leave`
The `force-leave` command forces a member of a Serf cluster to enter the
"left" state. Note that if the member is still actually alive, it will
eventually rejoin the cluster. The true purpose of this method is to force
remove "failed" nodes.
Serf periodically tries to reconnect to "failed" nodes in case it is a
network partition. After some configured amount of time (by default 24 hours),
Serf will reap "failed" nodes and stop trying to reconnect. The `force-leave`
command can be used to transition the "failed" nodes to "left" nodes more
quickly.
## Usage
Usage: `serf force-leave [options] node`
The following command-line options are available for this command.
Every option is optional:
* `-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
"127.0.0.1:7373" which is the default RPC address of a Serf agent.
