cdist-type__consul_agent - Manage the consul agent
Configure and manage the consul agent.
- acl-datacenter
- only used by servers. This designates the datacenter which is
authoritative for ACL information.
- acl-default-policy
- either "allow" or "deny"; defaults to
"allow". The default policy controls the behavior of a token
when there is no matching rule.
- acl-down-policy
- either "allow", "deny" or "extend-cache";
"extend-cache" is the default.
- acl-master-token
- only used for servers in the acl_datacenter. This token will be created
with management-level permissions if it does not exist. It allows
operators to bootstrap the ACL system with a token ID that is
well-known.
- acl-token
- when provided, the agent will use this token when making requests to the
Consul servers.
- acl-ttl
- used to control Time-To-Live caching of ACLs.
- bind-addr
- sets the bind address for cluster communication
- bootstrap-expect
- sets server to expect bootstrap mode
- ca-file-source
- path to a PEM encoded certificate authority file which will be uploaded
and configure using the ca_file config option.
- cert-file-source
- path to a PEM encoded certificate file which will be uploaded and
configure using the cert_file config option.
- client-addr
- sets the address to bind for client access
- datacenter
- datacenter of the agent
- encrypt
- provides the gossip encryption key
- group
- the primary group for the agent
- json-config
- path to a partial json config file without leading { and trailing }. If
json-config is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file
content.
- key-file-source
- path to a PEM encoded private key file which will be uploaded and
configure using the key_file config option.
- node-name
- name of this node. Must be unique in the cluster
- retry-join
- address to attempt joining every retry_interval until at least one join
works. Can be specified multiple times.
- user
- the user to run the agent as
- state
- if the agent is 'present' or 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'. Currently
state=absent is not working due to some dependency issues.
- disable-remote-exec
- disables support for remote execution. When set to true, the agent will
ignore any incoming remote exec requests.
- disable-update-check
- disables automatic checking for security bulletins and new version
releases
- leave-on-terminate
- gracefully leave cluster on SIGTERM
- rejoin-after-leave
- rejoin the cluster using the previous state after leaving
- server
- used to control if an agent is in server or client mode
- enable-syslog
- enables logging to syslog
- verify-incoming
- enforce the use of TLS and verify a client's authenticity on incoming
connections
- verify-outgoing
- enforce the use of TLS and verify the peers authenticity on outgoing
connections
