Warning:
As of April 12, 2019, CockroachDB v1.1 is no longer supported. For more details, refer to the Release Support Policy.

To view details for each node in the cluster, use the cockroach node command with the appropriate subcommands and flags.

New in v1.1: The cockroach node command is also used in the process of decommissioning nodes for permanent removal. See Remove Nodes for more details.

Subcommands

Subcommand Usage
ls List the ID of each active node in the cluster. This does not include dead nodes or inactive nodes (i.e., nodes that have been decommissioned). To retrieve the IDS for inactive nodes, use node status --decommision.
status View the status of one or all nodes. Depending on flags used, this can include details about range/replicas, disk usage, and decommissioning progress.
decommission New in v1.1: Decommission nodes for permanent removal. See Remove Nodes for more details.
recommission New in v1.1: Recommission nodes that were accidentally decommissioned. See Recommission Nodes for more details.

Flags

All node subcommands support the following general-use and logging flags.

General

Flag Description
--format How to display table rows printed to the standard output. Possible values: tsv, csv, pretty, records, sql, html.

Default: tsv

The node status subcommand also supports the following general flags:

Flag Description
--all Show all node details.
--decommission Show node decommissioning details.
--ranges Show node details for ranges and replicas.
--stats Show node disk usage details.

The node decommission subcommand also supports the following general flag:

Flag Description
--wait When to return to the client. Possible values: all, live, none.

If all, the command returns to the client only after all specified nodes are fully decommissioned. If any specified nodes are offline, the command will not return to the client until those nodes are back online.

If live, the command returns to the client after all online nodes are fully decommissioned. Any specified nodes that are offline will automatically will be marked as decommissioned; if they come back online, the cluster will recognize this status and will not rebalance data to the nodes.

If none, the command does not wait for decommissioning to finish; it returns to the client after starting the decommissioning process on all specified nodes that are online. Any specified nodes that are offline will automatically be marked as decommissioned; if they come back online, the cluster will recognize this status and will not rebalance data to the nodes.

Default: all

Client Connection

Flag Description
--host The server host to connect to. This can be the address of any node in the cluster.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_HOST
Default:localhost
--port
-p
The server port to connect to.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_PORT
Default: 26257
--user
-u
The SQL user that will own the client session.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_USER
Default: root
--insecure Use an insecure connection.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_INSECURE
Default: false
--certs-dir The path to the certificate directory containing the CA and client certificates and client key.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_CERTS_DIR
Default: ${HOME}/.cockroach-certs/
--url A connection URL to use instead of the other arguments.

Env Variable: COCKROACH_URL
Default: no URL

See Client Connection Parameters for more details.

Logging

By default, the node command logs errors to stderr.

If you need to troubleshoot this command's behavior, you can change its logging behavior.

Response

The cockroach node subcommands return the following fields for each node.

node ls

Field Description
id The ID of the node.

node status

Field Description
id The ID of the node.

Required flag: None
address The address of the node.

Required flag: None
build The version of CockroachDB running on the node. If the binary was built from source, this will be the SHA hash of the commit used.

Required flag: None
updated_at The date and time when the node last recorded the information displayed in this command's output. When healthy, a new status should be recorded every 10 seconds or so, but when unhealthy this command's stats may be much older.

Required flag: None
started_at The date and time when the node was started.

Required flag: None
replicas_leaders The number of range replicas on the node that are the Raft leader for their range. See replicas_leaseholders below for more details.

Required flag: --ranges or --all
replicas_leaseholders The number of range replicas on the node that are the leaseholder for their range. A "leaseholder" replica handles all read requests for a range and directs write requests to the range's Raft leader (usually the same replica as the leaseholder).

Required flag: --ranges or --all
ranges The number of ranges that have replicas on the node.

Required flag: --ranges or --all
ranges_unavailable The number of unavailable ranges that have replicas on the node.

Required flag: --ranges or --all
ranges_underreplicated The number of underreplicated ranges that have replicas on the node.

Required flag: --ranges or --all
live_bytes The amount of live data used by both applications and the CockroachDB system. This excludes historical and deleted data.

Required flag: --stats or --all
key_bytes The amount of live and non-live data from keys in the key-value storage layer. This does not include data used by the CockroachDB system.

Required flag: --stats or --all
value_bytes The amount of live and non-live data from values in the key-value storage layer. This does not include data used by the CockroachDB system.

Required flag: --stats or --all
intent_bytes The amount of non-live data associated with uncommitted (or recently-committed) transactions.

Required flag: --stats or --all
system_bytes The amount of data used just by the CockroachDB system.

Required flag: --stats or --all
is_live If true, the node is currently live.

Required flag: --decommission or --all
gossiped_replicas The number of replicas on the node that are active members of a range. After decommissioning, this should be 0.

Required flag: --decommission or --all
is_decommissioning If true, the node is marked for decommissioning. See Remove Nodes for more details.

Required flag: --decommission or --all
is_draining If true, the range replicas and range leases are being moved off the node. This happens when a live node is being decommissioned. See Remove Nodes for more details.

Required flag: --decommission or --all
