The command can be used to view or modify the current Autopilot configuration. See the [Autopilot Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/day-2-operations/autopilot) for more information about Autopilot. ```text Usage: consul operator autopilot [options] The Autopilot operator command is used to interact with Consul's Autopilot subsystem. The command can be used to view or modify the current configuration. Subcommands: get-config Display the current Autopilot configuration set-config Modify the current Autopilot configuration ``` ## get-config Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[GET\] /v1/operator/autopilot/configuration](/api-docs/operator/autopilot#read-configuration) This command displays the current autopilot configuration. The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of [blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching) are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint. | ACL Required | | --------------- | | `operator:read` | Usage: `consul operator autopilot get-config [options]` #### API Options @include 'http_api_options_client.mdx' @include 'http_api_options_server.mdx' ### Command Output ```sh $ consul operator autopilot get-config CleanupDeadServers = true LastContactThreshold = 200ms MaxTrailingLogs = 250 ServerStabilizationTime = 10s RedundancyZoneTag = "" DisableUpgradeMigration = false UpgradeMigrationTag = "" ``` ## set-config Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/operator/autopilot/configuration](/api-docs/operator/autopilot#update-configuration) Modifies the current Autopilot configuration. The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of [blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching) are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint. | ACL Required | | ---------------- | | `operator:write` | Usage: `consul operator autopilot set-config [options]` #### API Options @include 'http_api_options_client.mdx' @include 'http_api_options_server.mdx' #### Command Options - `-cleanup-dead-servers` - Specifies whether to enable automatic removal of dead servers upon the successful joining of new servers to the cluster. Must be one of `[true|false]`. - `-last-contact-threshold` - Controls the maximum amount of time a server can go without contact from the leader before being considered unhealthy. Must be a duration value such as `200ms`. - `-max-trailing-logs` - Controls the maximum number of log entries that a server can trail the leader by before being considered unhealthy. - `-min-quorum` - Sets the minimum number of servers required in a cluster before autopilot is allowed to prune dead servers. - `-server-stabilization-time` - Controls the minimum amount of time a server must be stable in the 'healthy' state before being added to the cluster. Only takes effect if all servers are running Raft protocol version 3 or higher. Must be a duration value such as `10s`. - `-disable-upgrade-migration` - Controls whether Consul will avoid promoting new servers until it can perform a migration. Must be one of `[true|false]`. - `-redundancy-zone-tag` - Controls the [`-node-meta`](/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_node_meta) key name used for separating servers into different redundancy zones. - `-upgrade-version-tag` - Controls the [`-node-meta`](/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_node_meta) tag to use for version info when performing upgrade migrations. If left blank, the Consul version will be used. ### Command Output ```sh $ consul operator autopilot set-config -min-quorum=3 Configuration updated! ``` The return code will indicate success or failure. ## state Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[GET\] /v1/operator/autopilot/state](/api-docs/operator/autopilot#read-the-autopilot-state) This command displays the current autopilot state. The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of [blocking queries](/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api-docs/features/caching) are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint. | ACL Required | | --------------- | | `operator:read` | Usage: `consul operator autopilot state [options]` #### API Options @include 'http_api_options_client.mdx' @include 'http_api_options_server.mdx' #### Command Options - `-format` - Specifies the output format. Must be one of `[pretty|json]` and it defaults to `pretty`. #### Command Output ```sh $ consul operator autopilot state Healthy: true Failure Tolerance: 1 Optimistic Failure Tolerance: 0 Leader: 79324811-9588-4311-b208-f272e38aaabf Voters: 79324811-9588-4311-b208-f272e38aaabf ef8aee9a-f9d6-4ec4-b383-aac956bdb80f ae84aefb-a303-4734-8739-5c102d4ee2d9 Servers: 79324811-9588-4311-b208-f272e38aaabf Name: node1 Address: 198.18.0.1:8300 Version: 1.9.0 Status: leader Node Type: voter Node Status: alive Healthy: true Last Contact: 0s Last Term: 3 Last Index: 42 Meta "foo": "bar" ae84aefb-a303-4734-8739-5c102d4ee2d9 Name: node3 Address: 198.18.0.3:8300 Version: 1.9.0 Status: voter Node Type: voter Node Status: alive Healthy: true Last Contact: 2ms Last Term: 3 Last Index: 39 Meta "baz": "foo" ef8aee9a-f9d6-4ec4-b383-aac956bdb80f Name: node2 Address: 198.18.0.2:8300 Version: 1.9.0 Status: voter Node Type: voter Node Status: alive Healthy: true Last Contact: 1ms Last Term: 3 Last Index: 41 Meta "bar": "baz" ```
