  The /agent endpoints interact with the local Consul agent to register
  services, checks, list members, and more.
---

# Agent HTTP API

The `/agent` endpoints are used to interact with the local Consul agent.
Usually, services and checks are registered with an agent which then takes on
the burden of keeping that data synchronized with the cluster. For example, the
agent registers services and checks with the Catalog and performs
[anti-entropy](/docs/architecture/anti-entropy) to recover from outages.

In addition to these endpoints, additional endpoints are grouped in the
navigation for `Checks` and `Services`.

## Retrieve host information

This endpoint returns information about the host the agent is running on such as
CPU, memory, and disk.

~> Note: this is not a stable API. The structure of the response body may change
at any time. If you require this data to be in a stable format, please open a
GitHub issue to discuss your use case.

## List Members

This endpoint returns the members the agent sees in the cluster gossip pool. Due
to the nature of gossip, this is eventually consistent: the results may differ
by agent. The strongly consistent view of nodes is instead provided by
`/v1/catalog/nodes`.

@include 'http_api_results_filtered_by_acls.mdx'

| Method | Path             | Produces           |
| ------ | ---------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET`  | `/agent/members` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api-docs/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).

| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO`             | `none`            | `none`        | `node:read`  |

The corresponding CLI command is [`consul members`](/commands/members).

### Query Parameters

- `wan` `(bool: false)` - Specifies to list WAN members instead of the LAN
  members (which is the default). This is only eligible for agents running in
  **server mode**.

- `segment` `(string: "")` <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - Specifies the segment to list members for.
  If left blank, this will query for the default segment when connecting to a server and
  the agent's own segment when connecting to a client (clients can only be part of one
  network segment). When querying a server, setting this to the special string `_all`
  will show members in all segments.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/members
```

```

## Read Configuration

This endpoint returns the configuration and member information of the local
agent. The `Config` element contains a subset of the configuration and its
format will not change in a backwards incompatible way between releases.
`DebugConfig` contains the full runtime configuration but its format is subject
to change without notice or deprecation.

## Reload Agent

This endpoint instructs the agent to reload its configuration. Any errors
encountered during this process are returned.

Not all configuration options are reloadable. See the
[Reloadable Configuration](/docs/agent/config#reloadable-configuration)
section on the agent options page for details on which options are supported.

| Method | Path            | Produces           |
| ------ | --------------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/reload` | `application/json` |

The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking),

[agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).

| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required  |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| `NO`             | `none`            | `none`        | `agent:write` |

The corresponding CLI command is [`consul reload`](/commands/reload).

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --request PUT \
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/reload
```

## Enable Maintenance Mode

This endpoint places the agent into "maintenance mode". During maintenance mode,
the node will be marked as unavailable and will not be present in DNS or API
queries. This API call is idempotent.

Maintenance mode is persistent and will be automatically restored on agent
restart.

| Method | Path                 | Produces           |
| ------ | -------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/maintenance` | `application/json` |

[blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api-docs/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api-docs/api-structure#authentication).

| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `NO`             | `none`            | `none`        | `node:write` |

The corresponding CLI command is [`consul maint`](/commands/maint).

### Query Parameters

- `enable` `(bool: <required>)` - Specifies whether to enable or disable
  maintenance mode.

- `reason` `(string: "")` - Specifies a text string explaining the reason for
  placing the node into maintenance mode. This is simply to aid human operators.
  If no reason is provided, a default value is used instead.
  This parameter must be URI-encoded.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --request PUT \
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/maintenance?enable=true&reason=For+API+docs
```

## View Metrics

This endpoint will dump the metrics for the most recent finished interval.
For more information about metrics, see the [telemetry](/docs/agent/telemetry)
page.

In order to enable [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) support, you need to use the
configuration directive
[`prometheus_retention_time`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#telemetry-prometheus_retention_time).

Since Consul 1.7.2 this endpoint will also automatically switch output format if
the request contains an `Accept` header with a compatible MIME type such as
`application/openmetrics-text`. Prometheus v2.5.0 and newer pass this header in scraping
queries, and so will get a compatible format by default. Older versions of Prometheus may
work by default as several previously used MIME types are also detected, but the `?format`
query parameter may also be used to specify the output format manually if needed.
simplifying scrape configuration.

Note: If using the default format and your metric includes labels that use the same key
name multiple times (i.e. tag=tag2 and tag=tag1), only the sorted last value (tag=tag2)
will be visible on this endpoint due to a display issue. The complete label set is correctly
applied and passed to external metrics providers even though it is not visible through this
endpoint.

- `Timestamp` is the timestamp of the interval for the displayed metrics. Metrics are
  aggregated on a ten second interval, so this value (along with the displayed metrics)
  will change every ten seconds.

- `Gauges` is a list of gauges which store one value that is updated as time goes on,
  such as the amount of memory allocated.

- `Points` is a list of point metrics, which each store a series of points under a given name.

- `Counters` is a list of counters, which store info about a metric that is incremented
  over time such as the number of requests to an HTTP endpoint.

- `Samples` is a list of samples, which store info about the amount of time spent on an
  operation, such as the time taken to serve a request to a specific http endpoint.

## Graceful Leave and Shutdown

This endpoint triggers a graceful leave and shutdown of the agent. It is used to
ensure other nodes see the agent as "left" instead of "failed". Nodes that leave
will not attempt to re-join the cluster on restarting with a snapshot.

For nodes in server mode, the node is removed from the Raft peer set in a
graceful manner. This is critical, as in certain situations a non-graceful leave
can affect cluster availability.

## Force Leave and Shutdown

This endpoint instructs the agent to force a node into the `left` state in the
LAN and WAN gossip pools. If a node fails unexpectedly, then it will be in a `failed` state. Once in the
`failed` state, Consul will attempt to reconnect, and the services and checks
belonging to that node will not be cleaned up. Forcing a node into the `left`
state allows its old entries to be removed.

| Method | Path                            | Produces           |
| ------ | ------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/force-leave/:node_name` | `application/json` |

Additionally, by specifying the `prune` flag, a node can be forcibly removed from
the list of members entirely.

| `NO`             | `none`            | `none`        | `operator:write` |

The corresponding CLI command is [`consul force-leave`](/commands/force-leave).

### Path Parameters

- `node_name` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the name of the node to be forced into `left` state.

### Query Parameters

- `prune` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether to forcibly remove the node from the list of members.
  Pruning a node in the `left` or `failed` state removes it from the list altogether.
  Added in Consul 1.6.2.

- `wan` `(bool: false)` - Specifies the node should only be removed from the WAN
  gossip pool. Added in Consul 1.11.0.

### Sample Request

```shell-session
$ curl \
    --request PUT \
    http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/force-leave/agent-one
```

## Update ACL Tokens

This endpoint updates the ACL tokens currently in use by the agent. It can be
used to introduce ACL tokens to the agent for the first time, or to update
tokens that were initially loaded from the agent's configuration. Tokens will be persisted
only if the [`acl.enable_token_persistence`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#acl_enable_token_persistence)
configuration is `true`. When not being persisted, they will need to be reset if the agent
is restarted.

| Method | Path                                            | Produces           |
| ------ | -----------------------------                   | ------------------ |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/token/default`                          | `application/json` |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/token/agent`                            | `application/json` |
| `PUT`  | `/agent/token/agent_recovery`                   | `application/json` |

| `PUT`  | `/agent/token/replication`                      | `application/json` |

The paths above correspond to the token names as found in the agent configuration:
