In situations where Consul handles large amounts of data and has high write throughput, we recommend adding monitoring for the [capacity and health of raft replication on servers](/consul/docs/agent/telemetry#raft-replication-capacity-issues). If the server experiences heavy load when the size of its stored data is large enough, a follower may be unable to catch up on replication and become a voter after restarting. This situation occurs when the time it takes for a server to restore from disk takes longer than it takes for the leader to write a new snapshot and truncate its logs. Refer to [Raft snapshots](#raft-snapshots) for more information.

Vault v1.4 and higher provides [integrated storage](/vault/docs/concepts/integrated-storage) as its recommended storage option. If you currently use Consul as a storage backend for Vault, we recommend switching to integrated storage. For a comparison between Vault's integrated storage and Consul as a backend for Vault, refer to [storage backends in the Vault documentation](/vault/docs/configuration/storage#integrated-storage-vs-consul-as-vault-storage). For detailed guidance on migrating the Vault backend from Consul to Vault's integrated storage, refer to the [storage migration tutorial](/vault/docs/configuration/storage#integrated-storage-vs-consul-as-vault-storage). Integrated storage improves resiliency by preventing a Consul outage from also affecting Vault functionality.
