Please note: this information is generally very low level and not often useful for clients. The following endpoints are supported: * [`/v1/status/leader`](#status_leader) : Returns the current Raft leader * [`/v1/status/peers`](#status_peers) : Returns the current Raft peer set ### /v1/status/leader This endpoint is used to get the Raft leader for the datacenter in which the agent is running. It returns an address, such as: ```text "10.1.10.12:8300" ``` ### /v1/status/peers This endpoint retrieves the Raft peers for the datacenter in which the the agent is running. It returns a list of addresses, such as: ```javascript [ "10.1.10.12:8300", "10.1.10.11:8300", "10.1.10.10:8300" ] ``` This list of peers is strongly consistent and can be useful in determining when a given server has successfully joined the cluster.
