Join parameters for Consul agent configuration files
The page provides reference information for join parameters in a Consul agent configuration file.
Join Parameters
rejoin_after_leave- When provided, Consul ignores a previous leave and attempts to rejoin the cluster when starting. By default, Consul treats leave as a permanent intent and does not attempt to join the cluster again automatically when it starts. This parameter allows the previous state to be used to rejoin the cluster. Equivalent to the-rejoincommand-line flag.retry_join- Address of another agent to join on start up. Joining is retried until success. Once the agent joins successfully as a member, it will not attempt to join again. After joining, the agent solely maintains its membership through gossip. By default, the Consul agent does not join any nodes when it starts up. The value can contain IPv4, IPv6, or DNS addresses. Literal IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in square brackets. If multiple values are given, they are tried and retried in the order listed until the first succeeds. Equivalent to the-retry-joincommand-line flag.retry_interval- Time to wait between join attempts. Defaults to30s.Equivalent to the-retry-intervalcommand-line flag.retry_max- The maximum number of join attempts when usingretry-joinbefore exiting with return code 1. By default, this parameter is set to0, which is interpreted as infinite retries. Equivalent to the-retry-maxcommand-line flag.retry_join_wan- Address of another WAN agent to join on start up. WAN joining is retried until success. This can be specified as a list of addresses to specify multiple WAN agents to join. If multiple values are given, they are tried and retried in the order listed until the first succeeds. By default, the agent does not WAN join any nodes when it starts up. Equivalent to the-retry-join-wancommand-line flag.retry_interval_wanTime to wait betweenretry-join-wanattempts. Defaults to30s. Equivalent to the-retry-interval-wancommand-line flag.
