etcdctl
========

`etcdctl` is a command line client for [etcd][etcd].
Make sure to set environment variable `ETCDCTL_API=3`. For etcdctl v2, please check [READMEv2][READMEv2].

Global flags (e.g., `dial-timeout`, `--cacert`, `--cert`, `--key`) can be set with environment variables:

```
ETCDCTL_DIAL_TIMEOUT=3s
ETCDCTL_CACERT=/tmp/ca.pem
ETCDCTL_CERT=/tmp/cert.pem
ETCDCTL_KEY=/tmp/key.pem
```

Prefix flag strings with `ETCDCTL_`, convert all letters to upper-case, and replace dash(`-`) with underscore(`_`).

## Commands

### VERSION

Prints the version of etcdctl

#### Return value

##### Simple reply

- Prints etcd version and API version

#### Examples

```bash
./etcdctl version
# etcdctl version: 3.1.0-alpha.0+git
# API version: 3.1
```

### PUT [options] \<key\> \<value\>

PUT assigns the specified value with the specified key. If key already holds a value, it is overwritten.

#### Options

- lease -- lease ID (in hexadecimal) to attach to the key.

- prev-kv -- return the previous key-value pair before modification.

#### Return value

##### Simple reply

- OK if PUT executed correctly. Exit code is zero.

- Error string if PUT failed. Exit code is non-zero.

##### JSON reply

The JSON encoding of the PUT [RPC response][etcdrpc].

##### Protobuf reply

The protobuf encoding of the PUT [RPC response][etcdrpc].

#### Examples

```bash
./etcdctl put foo bar --lease=1234abcd
# OK
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar
```

```bash
./etcdctl put foo bar1 --prev-kv
# OK
# foo
# bar
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar1
```

#### Notes

If \<value\> isn't given as command line argument, this command tries to read the value from standard input.

When \<value\> begins with '-', \<value\> is interpreted as a flag.
Insert '--' for workaround:

```bash
./etcdctl put <key> -- <value>
./etcdctl put -- <key> <value>
```

### GET [options] \<key\> [range_end]

GET gets the key or a range of keys [key, range_end) if `range-end` is given.

#### Options

- hex -- print out key and value as hex encode string

- limit -- maximum number of results

- prefix -- get keys by matching prefix

- order -- order of results; ASCEND or DESCEND

- sort-by -- sort target; CREATE, KEY, MODIFY, VALUE, or VERSION

- rev -- specify the kv revision

- print-value-only -- print only value when used with write-out=simple

- consistency -- Linearizable(l) or Serializable(s)

- from-key -- Get keys that are greater than or equal to the given key using byte compare

- keys-only -- Get only the keys

#### Return value

##### Simple reply

- \<key\>\n\<value\>\n\<next_key\>\n\<next_value\>...

- Error string if GET failed. Exit code is non-zero.

##### JSON reply

The JSON encoding of the [RPC response][etcdrpc] for the GET's Range request.

##### Protobuf reply

The protobuf encoding of the [RPC message][etcdrpc] for a key-value pair for each fetched key-value.

#### Examples

```bash
./etcdctl put foo bar
# OK
./etcdctl put foo1 bar1
# OK
./etcdctl put foo2 bar2
# OK
./etcdctl put foo3 bar3
# OK
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar
./etcdctl get --from-key foo1
# foo1
# bar1
# foo2
# bar2
# foo3
# bar3
./etcdctl get foo1 foo3
# foo1
# bar1
# foo2
# bar2
```

#### Notes

If any key or value contains non-printable characters or control characters, the output in text format (e.g. simple reply) might be ambiguous.
Adding `--hex` to print key or value as hex encode string in text format can resolve this issue.

### DEL [options] \<key\> [range_end]

Removes the specified key or range of keys [key, range_end) if `range-end` is given.

#### Options

- prefix -- delete keys by matching prefix

- prev-kv -- return deleted key-value pairs

- from-key -- delete keys that are greater than or equal to the given key using byte compare

#### Return value

##### Simple reply

- The number of keys that were removed in decimal if DEL executed correctly. Exit code is zero.

- Error string if DEL failed. Exit code is non-zero.

##### JSON reply

The JSON encoding of the DeleteRange [RPC response][etcdrpc].

##### Protobuf reply

The protobuf encoding of the DeleteRange [RPC response][etcdrpc].

#### Examples

# OK
./etcdctl put zoo2 val2
# OK
./etcdctl del --prefix zoo
# 3
./etcdctl get zoo2
```

### TXN [options]

## Utility Commands

### ENDPOINT \<subcommand\>

ENDPOINT provides commands for querying individual endpoints.

### ENDPOINT HEALTH

ENDPOINT HEALTH checks the health of the list of endpoints with respect to cluster. An endpoint is unhealthy
when it cannot participate in consensus with the rest of the cluster.

#### Return value

- If an endpoint can participate in consensus, prints a message indicating the endpoint is healthy.

- If an endpoint fails to participate in consensus, prints a message indicating the endpoint is unhealthy.

#### Example

```bash
./etcdctl endpoint health
# 127.0.0.1:32379 is healthy: successfully committed proposal: took = 2.130877ms
# 127.0.0.1:2379 is healthy: successfully committed proposal: took = 2.095242ms
# 127.0.0.1:22379 is healthy: successfully committed proposal: took = 2.083263ms
```

### ENDPOINT STATUS

ENDPOINT STATUS queries the status of each endpoint in the given endpoint list.

#### Return value

##### Simple reply

On success, prints a humanized table of each endpoint URL, ID, version, database size, leadership status, raft term, and raft status. On failure, returns with a non-zero exit code.

##### JSON reply

On success, prints a line of JSON encoding each endpoint URL, ID, version, database size, leadership status, raft term, and raft status. On failure, returns with a non-zero exit code.

##### Protobuf reply

ENDPOINT STATUS does not support protobuf encoded output.

#### Examples

```bash
./etcdctl endpoint status
# 127.0.0.1:2379, 8211f1d0f64f3269, 3.0.0, 25 kB, false, 2, 63
# 127.0.0.1:22379, 91bc3c398fb3c146, 3.0.0, 25 kB, false, 2, 63

```

```bash
./etcdctl -w json endpoint status
# [{"Endpoint":"127.0.0.1:2379","Status":{"header":{"cluster_id":17237436991929493444,"member_id":9372538179322589801,"revision":2,"raft_term":2},"version":"3.0.0","dbSize":24576,"leader":18249187646912138824,"raftIndex":32623,"raftTerm":2}},{"Endpoint":"127.0.0.1:22379","Status":{"header":{"cluster_id":17237436991929493444,"member_id":10501334649042878790,"revision":2,"raft_term":2},"version":"3.0.0","dbSize":24576,"leader":18249187646912138824,"raftIndex":32623,"raftTerm":2}},{"Endpoint":"127.0.0.1:32379","Status":{"header":{"cluster_id":17237436991929493444,"member_id":18249187646912138824,"revision":2,"raft_term":2},"version":"3.0.0","dbSize":24576,"leader":18249187646912138824,"raftIndex":32623,"raftTerm":2}}]

+-----------------+------------------+---------+---------+-----------+-----------+------------+
```

### LOCK \<lockname\>

LOCK acquires a distributed named mutex with a given name. Once the lock is acquired, it will be held until etcdctl is terminated.

#### Return value

- Once the lock is acquired, the result for the GET on the unique lock holder key is displayed.

- LOCK returns a zero exit code only if it is terminated by a signal and can release the lock.

#### Example
```bash
./etcdctl lock mylock
# mylock/1234534535445


```

#### Notes

The lease length of a lock defaults to 60 seconds. If LOCK is abnormally terminated, lock progress may be delayed
by up to 60 seconds.


### ELECT [options] \<election-name\> [proposal]

ELECT participates on a named election. A node announces its candidacy in the election by providing
a proposal value. If a node wishes to observe the election, ELECT listens for new leaders values.
Whenever a leader is elected, its proposal is given as output.

#### Options

- listen -- observe the election

#### Return value

- If a candidate, ELECT displays the GET on the leader key once the node is elected election.

- If observing, ELECT streams the result for a GET on the leader key for the current election and all future elections.

- ELECT returns a zero exit code only if it is terminated by a signal and can revoke its candidacy or leadership, if any.

#### Example
```bash
./etcdctl elect myelection foo
# myelection/1456952310051373265
# foo
```

#### Notes

The lease length of a leader defaults to 60 seconds. If a candidate is abnormally terminated, election
progress may be delayed by up to 60 seconds.


### COMPACTION [options] \<revision\>

COMPACTION discards all etcd event history prior to a given revision. Since etcd uses a multiversion concurrency control
model, it preserves all key updates as event history. When the event history up to some revision is no longer needed,
all superseded keys may be compacted away to reclaim storage space in the etcd backend database.

#### Options

- physical -- 'true' to wait for compaction to physically remove all old revisions

#### Return value

- On success, prints the compacted revision and returns a zero exit code.

- On failure, prints an error message and returns with a non-zero exit code.

#### Example
```bash
./etcdctl compaction 1234
# compacted revision 1234
```

### DEFRAG

DEFRAG defragments the backend database file for a set of given endpoints. When an etcd member reclaims storage space
from deleted and compacted keys, the space is kept in a free list and the database file remains the same size. By defragmenting
the database, the etcd member releases this free space back to the file system.

#### Return value

- If successfully defragmented an endpoint, prints a message indicating success for that endpoint.

- If failed defragmenting an endpoint, prints a message indicating failure for that endpoint.

- DEFRAG returns a zero exit code only if it succeeded defragmenting all given endpoints.

#### Example
```bash
./etcdctl --endpoints=localhost:2379,badendpoint:2379 defrag
# Finished defragmenting etcd member[localhost:2379]
# Failed to defragment etcd member[badendpoint:2379] (grpc: timed out trying to connect)
```


### MAKE-MIRROR [options] \<destination\>

[make-mirror][mirror] mirrors a key prefix in an etcd cluster to a destination etcd cluster.

#### Options

- dest-cacert -- TLS certificate authority file for destination cluster

- dest-cert -- TLS certificate file for destination cluster

- dest-key -- TLS key file for destination cluster

- prefix -- The key-value prefix to mirror

- dest-prefix -- The destination prefix to mirror a prefix to a different prefix in the destination cluster

- no-dest-prefix -- Mirror key-values to the root of the destination cluster

- dest-insecure-transport -- Disable transport security for client connections

#### Return value

Simple reply

- The approximate total number of keys transferred to the destination cluster, updated every 30 seconds.

- Error string if mirroring failed. Exit code is non-zero.

#### Examples

```
./etcdctl make-mirror mirror.example.com:2379
# 10
# 18
```

[mirror]: ./doc/mirror_maker.md


### SNAPSHOT \<subcommand\>

SNAPSHOT provides commands to restore a snapshot of a running etcd server into a fresh cluster.

### SNAPSHOT SAVE \<filename\>

SNAPSHOT SAVE writes a point-in-time snapshot of the etcd backend database to a file.

#### Return value

- On success, the backend snapshot is written to the given file path.

- Error string if snapshotting failed. Exit code is non-zero.

#### Example

Save a snapshot to "snapshot.db":
```
./etcdctl snapshot save snapshot.db
```


### SNAPSHOT RESTORE [options] \<filename\>

SNAPSHOT RESTORE creates an etcd data directory for an etcd cluster member from a backend database snapshot and a new cluster configuration. Restoring the snapshot into each member for a new cluster configuration will initialize a new etcd cluster preloaded by the snapshot data.

#### Options

The snapshot restore options closely resemble to those used in the `etcd` command for defining a cluster.

- data-dir -- Path to the data directory. Uses \<name\>.etcd if none given.

- initial-cluster -- The initial cluster configuration for the restored etcd cluster.

- initial-cluster-token -- Initial cluster token for the restored etcd cluster.

- initial-advertise-peer-urls -- List of peer URLs for the member being restored.

- name -- Human-readable name for the etcd cluster member being restored.

- skip-hash-check -- Ignore snapshot integrity hash value (required if copied from data directory)

#### Return value

- On success, a new etcd data directory is initialized.

- Error string if the data directory could not be completely initialized. Exit code is non-zero.

#### Example

Save a snapshot, restore into a new 3 node cluster, and start the cluster:
```
./etcdctl snapshot save snapshot.db

### SNAPSHOT STATUS \<filename\>

SNAPSHOT STATUS lists information about a given backend database snapshot file.

#### Return value

##### Simple Reply

On success, prints a humanized table of the database hash, revision, total keys, and size. On failure, return with a non-zero exit code.

##### JSON reply

On success, prints a line of JSON encoding the database hash, revision, total keys, and size. On failure, return with a non-zero exit code.

##### Protobuf reply

SNAPSHOT STATUS does not support protobuf encoded output.

#### Examples
```bash
./etcdctl snapshot status file.db
# cf1550fb, 3, 3, 25 kB
```

```bash
./etcdctl -write-out=json snapshot status file.db
# {"hash":3474280699,"revision":3,"totalKey":3,"totalSize":24576}
```

```bash
./etcdctl -write-out=table snapshot status file.db
+----------+----------+------------+------------+
|   HASH   | REVISION | TOTAL KEYS | TOTAL SIZE |
+----------+----------+------------+------------+
| cf1550fb |        3 |          3 | 25 kB      |
+----------+----------+------------+------------+
```

### MIGRATE [options]

Migrate migrates keys in a v2 store to a mvcc store. Users should run migration command for all members in the cluster.

#### Options

- data-dir -- Path to the data directory

- wal-dir -- Path to the WAL directory

- transformer -- Path to the user-provided transformer program (default if not provided)

#### Return value

Simple reply

- Exit code is zero when migration is finished successfully.

- Error string if migration failed. Exit code is non-zero.

#### Default transformer

If user does not provide a transformer program, migrate command will use the default transformer. The default transformer transforms `storev2` formatted keys into `mvcc` formatted keys according to the following Go program:

```go
func transform(n *storev2.Node) *mvccpb.KeyValue {
	if n.Dir {
		return nil
	}
	kv := &mvccpb.KeyValue{
		Key:            []byte(n.Key),
		Value:          []byte(n.Value),
		CreateRevision: int64(n.CreatedIndex),
		ModRevision:    int64(n.ModifiedIndex),
		Version:        1,
	}
	return kv
}
```

#### User-provided transformer

Users can provide a customized 1:n transformer function that transforms a key from the v2 store to any number of keys in the mvcc store. The migration program writes JSON formatted [v2 store keys][v2key] to the transformer program's stdin, reads protobuf formatted [mvcc keys][v3key] back from the transformer program's stdout, and finishes migration by saving the transformed keys into the mvcc store.

The provided transformer should read until EOF and flush the stdout before exiting to ensure data integrity.

#### Example

```
./etcdctl --data-dir=/var/etcd --transformer=k8s-transformer
# finished transforming keys
```

## Compatibility Support

etcdctl is still in its early stage. We try out best to ensure fully compatible releases, however we might break compatibility to fix bugs or improve commands. If we intend to release a version of etcdctl with backward incompatibilities, we will provide notice prior to release and have instructions on how to upgrade.

### Input Compatibility

Input includes the command name, its flags, and its arguments. We ensure backward compatibility of the input of normal commands in non-interactive mode.

### Output Compatibility

Output includes output from etcdctl and its exit code. etcdctl provides `simple` output format by default.
We ensure compatibility for the `simple` output format of normal commands in non-interactive mode. Currently, we do not ensure
backward compatibility for `JSON` format and the format in non-interactive mode. Currently, we do not ensure backward compatibility of utility commands.
