Consul Namespace

Command: consul namespace

The namespace command provides management of Consul Enterprise namespaces. This was added in Consul Enterprise 1.7.0.

If ACLs are enabled then a token with operator privileges may be required in order to use this command. Write requests are forwarded to the leader in the primary datacenter. Therefore these commands can be run against any agent in any datacenter.
