# Consul RTT
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul rtt`
|
|
|
|
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoints: [\[GET\] /v1/coordinate/datacenters](/consul/api-docs/coordinate#read-wan-coordinates), [\[GET\] /v1/coordinate/nodes](/consul/api-docs/coordinate#read-lan-coordinates-for-all-nodes)
|
|
|
|
The `rtt` command estimates the network round trip time between two nodes using
|
|
Consul's network coordinate model of the cluster.
|
|
|
|
See the [Network Coordinates](/consul/docs/architecture/coordinates) internals guide
|
|
for more information on how these coordinates are computed.
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/consul/api-docs/api-structure#authentication). Configuration of
|
|
[blocking queries](/consul/api-docs/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/consul/api-docs/features/caching)
|
|
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.

<sup>1</sup> When referencing WAN coordinates, no ACL permission is needed.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `consul rtt [options] node1 [node2]`
|
|
|
|
At least one node name is required. If the second node name isn't given, it
|
|
is set to the agent's node name. These are the node names as known to
|
|
Consul as the `consul members` command would show, not IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
## Sample Output
|
|
|
|
If coordinates are available, the command will print the estimated round trip
|
|
time between the given nodes:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul rtt n1 n2
|
|
Estimated n1 <-> n2 rtt: 0.610 ms (using LAN coordinates)
|
|
|
|
$ consul rtt n2 # Running from n1
|
|
Estimated n1 <-> n2 rtt: 0.610 ms (using LAN coordinates)
|
|
|
|
$ consul rtt -wan n1.dc1 n2.dc2
|
|
Estimated n1.dc1 <-> n2.dc2 rtt: 1.275 ms (using WAN coordinates)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Command Options
|
|
|
|
- `-wan` - Instructs the command to use WAN coordinates instead of LAN
|
|
coordinates. By default, the two nodes are assumed to be nodes in the local
|
|
datacenter and the LAN coordinates are used. If the -wan option is given,
|
|
then the WAN coordinates are used, and the node names must be suffixed by a period
|
|
and the datacenter (eg. "myserver.dc1"). It is not possible to measure between
|
|
LAN coordinates and WAN coordinates, so both nodes must be in the same area.
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables control accessing the HTTP server via SSL:
|
|
|
|
- `CONSUL_HTTP_SSL` Set this to enable SSL
|
|
- `CONSUL_HTTP_SSL_VERIFY` Set this to disable certificate checking (not recommended)
|
