Recovering from Consul "No Cluster leader" state

I have:

  • one mesos-master in which I configured a consul server;
  • one mesos-slave in which I configure consul client, and;
  • one bootstrap server for consul.

When I hit start I am seeing the following error:

2016/04/21 19:31:31 [ERR] agent: failed to sync remote state: rpc error: No cluster leader 2016/04/21 19:31:44 [ERR] agent: coordinate update error: rpc error: No cluster leader

How do I recover from this state?

Solution

  • Did you look at the Consul docs ?

    It looks like you have performed a ungraceful stop and now need to clean your raft/peers.json file by removing all entries there to perform an outage recovery. See the above link for more details.
