List of API member status codes and what they mean?

[Sam Barham]

I'm wanting to use the /v1/agent/members API to determine the status of my Consul nodes.  It returns a Status for each member, but that status is a number and I can't see any documentation on what number corresponds to what status.  I'm pretty sure Status=1 means alive, but what other possible statuses are there and what are their numbers?

Hi Sam,

That's kind of a low level endpoint so apologies that isn't documented more thoroughly. Here's the enumeration that is used for the status:

Thanks for that.  Another similar hole is there appears to be no mention within the documentation of the possible Status values, both for Consul and Nomad.  E.g.  Nomad Servers can be 'alive' or 'left', Consul members can be 'alive', 'left' or 'failed'.  I've managed to find them by trawling the code, but it'd be useful info within the standard documentation
