docs Commands: Validate docs-commands-validate The `consul validate` command tests that config files are valid by attempting to parse them. Useful to ensure a configuration change will not cause consul to fail after a restart.

Consul Validate

The consul validate command performs a basic sanity test on Consul configuration files. For each file or directory given, the validate command will attempt to parse the contents just as the "consul agent" command would, and catch any errors. This is useful to do a test of the configuration only, without actually starting the agent.

For more information on the format of Consul's configuration files, read the consul agent Configuration Files section.

Usage

Usage: consul validate [options] FILE_OR_DIRECTORY...

Performs a basic sanity test on Consul configuration files. For each file or directory given, the validate command will attempt to parse the contents just as the "consul agent" command would, and catch any errors. This is useful to do a test of the configuration only, without actually starting the agent.

Returns 0 if the configuration is valid, or 1 if there are problems.

$ consul validate /etc/consul.d
