etcdctl
etcdctl
is a command line client for etcd.
Make sure to set environment variable ETCDCTL_API=3
. For etcdctl v2, please check 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(_
).
Key-value commands
PUT [options] <key> <value>
PUT assigns the specified value with the specified key. If key already holds a value, it is overwritten.
RPC: Put
Options
-
lease -- lease ID (in hexadecimal) to attach to the key.
-
prev-kv -- return the previous key-value pair before modification.
-
ignore-value -- updates the key using its current value.
-
ignore-lease -- updates the key using its current lease.
Output
OK
Examples
./etcdctl put foo bar --lease=1234abcd
# OK
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar
./etcdctl put foo --ignore-value # to detache lease
# OK
./etcdctl put foo bar --lease=1234abcd
# OK
./etcdctl put foo bar1 --ignore-lease # to use existing lease 1234abcd
# OK
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar1
./etcdctl put foo bar1 --prev-kv
# OK
# foo
# bar
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar1
Remarks
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:
./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.
RPC: Range
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
Output
<key>\n<value>\n<next_key>\n<next_value>...
Examples
First, populate etcd with some keys:
./etcdctl put foo bar
# OK
./etcdctl put foo1 bar1
# OK
./etcdctl put foo2 bar2
# OK
./etcdctl put foo3 bar3
# OK
Get the key named foo
:
./etcdctl get foo
# foo
# bar
Get all keys:
./etcdctl get --from-key ''
# foo
# bar
# foo1
# bar1
# foo2
# foo2
# foo3
# bar3
Get all keys with names greater than or equal to foo1
:
./etcdctl get --from-key foo1
# foo1
# bar1
# foo2
# bar2
# foo3
# bar3
Get keys with names greater than or equal to foo1
and less than foo3
:
./etcdctl get foo1 foo3
# foo1
# bar1
# foo2
# bar2
Remarks
If any key or value contains non-printable characters or control characters, simple formatted output can be ambiguous due to new lines. To resolve this issue, set --hex
to hex encode all strings.
DEL [options] <key> [range_end]
Removes the specified key or range of keys [key, range_end) if range_end is given.
RPC: DeleteRange
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
Output
Prints the number of keys that were removed in decimal if DEL succeeded.
Examples
./etcdctl put foo bar
# OK
./etcdctl del foo
# 1
./etcdctl get foo
./etcdctl put key val
# OK
./etcdctl del --prev-kv key
# 1
# key
# val
./etcdctl get key

TXN [options]
TXN reads multiple etcd requests from standard input and applies them as a single atomic transaction. A transaction consists of list of conditions, a list of requests to apply if all the conditions are true, and a list of requests to apply if any condition is false.
RPC: Txn
Options
-
hex -- print out keys and values as hex encoded strings.
-
interactive -- input transaction with interactive prompting.
Input Format
<Txn> ::= <CMP>* "\n" <THEN> "\n" <ELSE> "\n"
<CMP> ::= (<CMPCREATE>|<CMPMOD>|<CMPVAL>|<CMPVER>|<CMPLEASE>) "\n"
<CMPOP> ::= "<" | "=" | ">"
<CMPCREATE> := ("c"|"create")"("<KEY>")" <REVISION>
<CMPMOD> ::= ("m"|"mod")"("<KEY>")" <CMPOP> <REVISION>
<CMPVAL> ::= ("val"|"value")"("<KEY>")" <CMPOP> <VALUE>
<CMPVER> ::= ("ver"|"version")"("<KEY>")" <CMPOP> <VERSION>
<CMPLEASE> ::= "lease("<KEY>")" <CMPOP> <LEASE>
<THEN> ::= <OP>*
<ELSE> ::= <OP>*
<OP> ::= ((see put, get, del etcdctl command syntax)) "\n"
<KEY> ::= (%q formatted string)
<VALUE> ::= (%q formatted string)
<REVISION> ::= "\""[0-9]+"\""
<VERSION> ::= "\""[0-9]+"\""
<LEASE> ::= "\""[0-9]+\""
Output
SUCCESS
if etcd processed the transaction success list, FAILURE
if etcd processed the transaction failure list. Prints the output for each command in the executed request list, each separated by a blank line.
Examples
txn in interactive mode:
./etcdctl txn -i
# compares:
mod("key1") > "0"
# success requests (get, put, delete):
put key1 "overwrote-key1"
# failure requests (get, put, delete):
put key1 "created-key1"
put key2 "some extra key"
# FAILURE
# OK
# OK
txn in non-interactive mode:
./etcdctl txn <<<'mod("key1") > "0"
put key1 "overwrote-key1"
put key1 "created-key1"
put key2 "some extra key"
'
# FAILURE
# OK
# OK
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.
RPC: Compact
Options
- physical -- 'true' to wait for compaction to physically remove all old revisions
Output
Prints the compacted revision.
Example
./etcdctl compaction 1234
# compacted revision 1234
WATCH [options] [key or prefix] [range_end] [--] [exec-command arg1 arg2 ...]
Watch watches events stream on keys or prefixes, [key or prefix, range_end) if range_end is given. The watch command runs until it encounters an error or is terminated by the user. If range_end is given, it must be lexicographically greater than key or "\x00".
RPC: Watch
Options
-
hex -- print out key and value as hex encode string
-
interactive -- begins an interactive watch session
-
prefix -- watch on a prefix if prefix is set.
-
prev-kv -- get the previous key-value pair before the event happens.
-
rev -- the revision to start watching. Specifying a revision is useful for observing past events.
Input format
Input is only accepted for interactive mode.
watch [options] <key or prefix>\n
Output
<event>[\n<old_key>\n<old_value>]\n<key>\n<value>\n<event>\n<next_key>\n<next_value>\n...
Examples
Non-interactive

ALARM <subcommand>
Provides alarm related commands
ALARM DISARM
alarm disarm
Disarms all alarms
RPC: Alarm
Output
alarm:<alarm type>
if alarm is present and disarmed.
Examples
./etcdctl alarm disarm
If NOSPACE alarm is present:
./etcdctl alarm disarm
# alarm:NOSPACE
ALARM LIST
alarm list
lists all alarms.
RPC: Alarm
Output
alarm:<alarm type>
if alarm is present, empty string if no alarms present.
Examples
./etcdctl alarm list
If NOSPACE alarm is present:
./etcdctl alarm list
# alarm:NOSPACE
DEFRAG [options]
DEFRAG defragments the backend database file for a set of given endpoints while etcd is running, or directly defragments an etcd data directory while etcd is not running. 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.
Options
- data-dir -- Optional. If present, defragments a data directory not in use by etcd.
Output
For each endpoints, prints a message indicating whether the endpoint was successfully defragmented.
Example
./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)
To defragment a data directory directly, use the --data-dir
flag:
# Defragment while etcd is not running
./etcdctl defrag --data-dir default.etcd
# success (exit status 0)
# Error: cannot open database at default.etcd/member/snap/db
Remarks
DEFRAG returns a zero exit code only if it succeeded defragmenting all given endpoints.
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.
Output
The backend snapshot is written to the given file path.
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.
-
wal-dir -- Path to the WAL directory. Uses data directory 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)
Output
A new etcd data directory initialized with the snapshot.
Example
Save a snapshot, restore into a new 3 node cluster, and start the cluster:
./etcdctl snapshot save snapshot.db
# restore members
bin/etcdctl snapshot restore snapshot.db --initial-cluster-token etcd-cluster-1 --initial-advertise-peer-urls http://127.0.0.1:12380 --name sshot1 --initial-cluster 'sshot1=http://127.0.0.1:12380,sshot2=http://127.0.0.1:22380,sshot3=http://127.0.0.1:32380'

Concurrency commands
LOCK [options] <lockname> [command arg1 arg2 ...]
LOCK acquires a distributed named mutex with a given name. Once the lock is acquired, it will be held until etcdctl is terminated.
Options
- ttl - time out in seconds of lock session.
Output
Once the lock is acquired, the result for the GET on the unique lock holder key is displayed.
If a command is given, it will be launched with environment variables ETCD_LOCK_KEY
and ETCD_LOCK_REV
set to the lock's holder key and revision.
Example
Acquire lock with standard output display:
./etcdctl lock mylock
# mylock/1234534535445
Acquire lock and execute echo lock acquired
:
./etcdctl lock mylock echo lock acquired
# lock acquired
Remarks
LOCK returns a zero exit code only if it is terminated by a signal and releases the lock.
If LOCK is abnormally terminated or fails to contact the cluster to release the lock, the lock will remain held until the lease expires. Progress may be delayed by up to the default lease length of 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.
Output
-
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.
Example
./etcdctl elect myelection foo
# myelection/1456952310051373265
# foo
Remarks
ELECT returns a zero exit code only if it is terminated by a signal and can revoke its candidacy or leadership, if any.
If a candidate is abnormally terminated, election rogress may be delayed by up to the default lease length of 60 seconds.

Utility commands
MAKE-MIRROR [options] <destination>
make-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
Output
The approximate total number of keys transferred to the destination cluster, updated every 30 seconds.
Examples
./etcdctl make-mirror mirror.example.com:2379
# 10
# 18
MIGRATE [options]
Migrates keys in a v2 store to a v3 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)
Output
No output on success.
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:
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 to the transformer program's stdin, reads protobuf formatted mvcc keys 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 migrate --data-dir=/var/etcd --transformer=k8s-transformer
# finished transforming keys
VERSION
Prints the version of etcdctl.
Output
Prints etcd version and API version.
Examples
./etcdctl version
# etcdctl version: 3.1.0-alpha.0+git
# API version: 3.1
CHECK <subcommand>
CHECK provides commands for checking properties of the etcd cluster.
CHECK PERF [options]
CHECK PERF checks the performance of the etcd cluster for 60 seconds.
RPC: CheckPerf
Options
-
load -- the performance check's workload model. Accepted workloads: s(small), m(medium), l(large), xl(xLarge)
-
prefix -- the prefix for writing the performance check's keys.
Output
Prints the result of performance check on different criteria like throughput. Also prints an overall status of the check as pass or fail.
Examples
Shows examples of both, pass and fail, status. The failure is due to the fact that a large workload was tried on a single node etcd cluster running on a laptop environment created for development and testing purpose.
./etcdctl check perf --load="s"
# 60 / 60 Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 100.00%1m0s
# PASS: Throughput is 150 writes/s
# PASS: Slowest request took 0.087509s
# PASS: Stddev is 0.011084s
# PASS
./etcdctl check perf --load="l"
# 60 / 60 Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 100.00%1m0s
# FAIL: Throughput too low: 6808 writes/s
# PASS: Slowest request took 0.228191s
# PASS: Stddev is 0.033547s
# FAIL
Exit codes
For all commands, a successful execution return a zero exit code. All failures will return non-zero exit codes.
Output formats
All commands accept an output format by setting -w
or --write-out
. All commands default to the "simple" output format, which is meant to be human-readable. The simple format is listed in each command's Output
description since it is customized for each command. If a command has a corresponding RPC, it will respect all output formats.
If a command fails, returning a non-zero exit code, an error string will be written to standard error regardless of output format.
Simple
A format meant to be easy to parse and human-readable. Specific to each command.
JSON
The JSON encoding of the command's RPC response. Since etcd's RPCs use byte strings, the JSON output will encode keys and values in base64.
Some commands without an RPC also support JSON; see the command's Output
description.
Protobuf
The protobuf encoding of the command's RPC response. If an RPC is streaming, the stream messages will be concetenated. If an RPC is not given for a command, the protobuf output is not defined.
Fields
An output format similar to JSON but meant to parse with coreutils. For an integer field named Field
, it writes a line in the format "Field" : %d
where %d
is go's integer formatting. For byte array fields, it writes "Field" : %q
where %q
is go's quoted string formatting (e.g., []byte{'a', '\n'}
is written as "a\n"
).
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.
