# Consul Operator
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul operator`
|
|
|
|
The `operator` command provides cluster-level tools for Consul operators, such
|
|
as interacting with the Raft subsystem. This was added in Consul 0.7.
|
|
|
|
~> Use this command with extreme caution, as improper use could lead to a Consul
|
|
outage and even loss of data.
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may be required in
|
|
order to use this command. Requests are forwarded internally to the leader
|
|
if required, so this can be run from any Consul node in a cluster. See the
|
|
[ACL Guide](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/production-acls) for more information.
|
|
|
|
See the [Outage Recovery](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/day-2-operations/outage) guide for some examples of how
|
|
this command is used. For an API to perform these operations programmatically,
|
|
please see the documentation for the [Operator](/api/operator)
|
|
endpoint.
