The state of a node can only be "alive", "left", or "failed". Nodes in the "failed" state are still listed because Consul attempts to reconnect with failed nodes for a certain amount of time in the case that the failure is actually just a network partition. ## Usage Usage: `consul members [options]` The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are: * `-detailed` - If provided, output shows more detailed information about each node. * `-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 "127.0.0.1:8400 " which is the default RPC address of a Consul agent. * `-status` - If provided, output is filtered to only nodes matching the regular expression for status * `-wan` - For agents in Server mode, this will return the list of nodes in the WAN gossip pool. These are generally all the server nodes in each datacenter.
