Consul Force Leave

Command: consul force-leave

The force-leave command forces a member of a Consul cluster to enter the "left" state. Note that if the member is still actually alive, it will eventually rejoin the cluster. The true purpose of this method is to force remove "failed" nodes.

Consul periodically tries to reconnect to "failed" nodes in case it is a network partition. After some configured amount of time (by default 72 hours), Consul will reap "failed" nodes and stop trying to reconnect. The force-leave command can be used to transition the "failed" nodes to "left" nodes more quickly.

This can be particularly useful for a node that was running as a server, as it will be removed from the Raft quorum.

Usage

Usage: consul force-leave [options] node

The following command-line options are available for this command. Every option is optional:

  • -rpc-addr - Address to the RPC server of the agent you want to contact to send this command. If this isn't specified, the command will contact "127.0.0.1:8400" which is the default RPC address of a Consul agent.
