This information is generally very low level and not often useful for 15 clients. 16 17 ## Get Raft Leader 18 19 This endpoint returns the Raft leader for the datacenter in which the agent is 20 running. 21 22 | Method | Path | Produces | 23 | :----- | :--------------------------- | ---------------------- | 24 | `GET` | `/status/leader` | `application/json` | 25 26 The table below shows this endpoint's support for 27 [blocking queries](/api/index.html#blocking-queries), 28 [consistency modes](/api/index.html#consistency-modes), 29 [agent caching](/api/index.html#agent-caching), and 30 [required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls). 31 32 | Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required | 33 | ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ | 34 | `NO` | `none` | `none` | `none` | 35 36 ### Sample Request 37 38 ```text 39 $ curl http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/status/leader 40 ``` 41 42 ### Sample Response 43 44 ```json 45 "10.1.10.12:8300" 46 ``` 47 48 ## List Raft Peers 49 50 This endpoint retrieves the Raft peers for the datacenter in which the the agent 51 is running. This list of peers is strongly consistent and can be useful in 52 determining when a given server has successfully joined the cluster. 53 54 | Method | Path | Produces | 55 | :----- | :--------------------------- | ---------------------- | 56 | `GET` | `/status/peers` | `application/json` | 57 58 The table below shows this endpoint's support for 59 [blocking queries](/api/index.html#blocking-queries), 60 [consistency modes](/api/index.html#consistency-modes), 61 [agent caching](/api/index.html#agent-caching), and 62 [required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls). 63 64 | Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required | 65 | ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ | 66 | `NO` | `none` | `none` | `none` | 67 68 ### Sample Request 69 70 ```text 71 $ curl http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/status/peers 72 ``` 73 74 ### Sample Response 75 76 ```json 77 [ 78 "10.1.10.12:8300", 79 "10.1.10.11:8300", 80 "10.1.10.10:8300" 81 ] 82 ```
