/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.

Method	Path
`POST`	`/sys/replication/recover`

Sample Request

$ 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.

Method	Path
`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.

Sample Payload

{}

Sample Request

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

Sample Response

{
  "warnings": ["..."]
}

Check Status

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

This is an unauthenticated endpoint.

Method	Path
`GET`	`/sys/replication/status`

Sample Request

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

Sample Response

The printed status of the replication environment. As an example, for a performance primary and DR primary node, it will look something like:

{
  "data": {
    "dr": {
      "cluster_id": "f2c21cb5-523f-617b-20ac-c913d9154ba6",
      "known_secondaries": ["3"],
      "last_wal": 291,
      "merkle_root": "38543b95d44132138003939addbaf94125ec184e",
      "mode": "primary",
      "primary_cluster_addr": "",
      "secondaries": [
        {
          "api_address": "https://127.0.0.1:49264",
          "cluster_address": "https://127.0.0.1:49267",
          "connection_status": "connected",
          "last_heartbeat": "2020-06-10T15:40:47-07:00",
          "node_id": "3"
        }
      ]
    },
    "performance": {
      "cluster_id": "1598d434-dfec-1f48-f019-3d22a8075bf9",
      "known_secondaries": ["2"],
      "last_wal": 291,
      "merkle_root": "43f40fc775b40cc76cd5d7e289b2e6eaf4ba138c",
      "mode": "primary",
      "primary_cluster_addr": "",
      "secondaries": [
        {
          "api_address": "https://127.0.0.1:49253",
          "cluster_address": "https://127.0.0.1:49256",
          "connection_status": "connected",
          "last_heartbeat": "2020-06-10T15:40:46-07:00",
          "node_id": "2"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

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.

Sample Response from Performance Secondary & DR Primary
