api	/sys/replication - HTTP API	<code>/sys/replication</code>	api-http-system-replication	The '/sys/replication' endpoint focuses on managing general operations in Vault Enterprise replication

/sys/replication

~> Enterprise Only – These endpoints require Vault Enterprise.

Attempt Recovery

This endpoint attempts recovery if replication is in an adverse state. For example: an error has caused replication to stop syncing.

Method	Path
POST	/sys/replication/recover

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/replication/recover

Sample Response

{
  "warnings": ["..."]
}

Reindex Replication

This endpoint reindexes the local data storage. This can cause a very long delay depending on the number and size of objects in the data store.

This endpoint requires 'sudo' capability.

Method	Path
POST	/sys/replication/reindex

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/replication/reindex

Sample Response

{
  "warnings": ["..."]
}

Check Status

This endpoint print information about the status of replication (mode, sync progress, etc).

This is an authenticated endpoint.

Method	Path
GET	/sys/replication/status

Sample Request

$ curl \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/replication/status

Sample Response

The printed status of the replication environment. As an example, for a performance primary and DR primary node, it will look something like:

{
  "data": {
    "dr": {
      "cluster_id": "f2c21cb5-523f-617b-20ac-c913d9154ba6",
      "known_secondaries": [
        "3"
      ],
      "last_wal": 291,
      "merkle_root": "38543b95d44132138003939addbaf94125ec184e",
      "mode": "primary",
      "primary_cluster_addr": ""
    },
    "performance": {
      "cluster_id": "1598d434-dfec-1f48-f019-3d22a8075bf9",
      "known_secondaries": [
        "2"
      ],
      "last_wal": 291,
      "merkle_root": "43f40fc775b40cc76cd5d7e289b2e6eaf4ba138c",
      "mode": "primary",
      "primary_cluster_addr": ""
    }
  },
}

Sample Response from Performance Secondary & DR Primary

The printed status of the replication environment. As an example, for a performnace secondary and DR primary node, it will look something like:
