»/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.

MethodPath
POST/sys/replication/recover

»Sample Request

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

$ 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.

MethodPath
POST/sys/replication/reindex

»Parameters

  • diff (bool: false) – Enables a slower re-indexing which will perform a key level check to diagnose issues. Defaults false.

  • force (bool: false) – Forces a complete re-indexing which only scans data available in the storage. Defaults false.

  • skip_flush (bool: false) – Skips the tree flushing stage of the reindex process. This setting can be used to reduce the amount of time the tree is locked during a reindex process. If this node is killed before the full tree has been asynchronously flushed the reindex may not have applied fully and a new reindex may need to be done. Shutting down this node cleanly will cause the tree to be flushed prior to shutdown. Defaults false.

»Check Status

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

This is an unauthenticated endpoint.

MethodPath
GET/sys/replication/status

»Sample Request

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

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

»Sample Response

Possible values for connection_status are connected or disconnected. last_heartbeat is the timestamp of the last time this node exchanged heartbeats with another node.
