# `/sys/step-down`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `/sys/step-down` endpoint causes the node to give up active status.
|
|
|
|

## Step Down Leader

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This endpoint forces the node to give up active status. If the node does not
|
|
|
|
|
have active status, this endpoint does nothing. Note that the node will sleep
|
|
|
|
|
for ten seconds before attempting to grab the active lock again, but if no
|
|
|
|
|
standby nodes grab the active lock in the interim, the same node may become the
|
|
|
|
|
active node again. Requires a token with `root` policy or `sudo` capability on
|
|
|
|
|
the path.
