Consul Info

Command: consul info

The info command provides various debugging information that can be useful to operators. Depending on if the agent is a client or server, information about different sub-systems will be returned.

There are currently the top-level keys for:

• agent: Provides information about the agent
• consul: Information about the consul library (client or server)
• raft: Provides info about the Raft consensus library
• serf_lan: Provides info about the LAN gossip pool
• serf_wan: Provides info about the WAN gossip pool

Here is an example output:

agent:
    check_monitors = 0
    check_ttls = 0
    checks = 0
    services = 0
consul:
    bootstrap = true
    known_datacenters = 1
    leader = true
    server = true
raft:
    applied_index = 45832
    commit_index = 45832
    fsm_pending = 0
    last_log_index = 45832
    last_log_term = 4
    last_snapshot_index = 45713
    last_snapshot_term = 1
    num_peers = 2
    state = Leader
