Usage: kong check <conf>

Check the validity of a given Kong configuration file.

<conf> (default /etc/kong.conf) configuration file

Usage: kong cluster COMMAND [OPTIONS]

Manage Kong‘s clustering capabilities.

The available commands are:
  keygen -c                   Generate an encryption key for intracluster traffic.
                              See ‘cluster_encrypt_key‘ setting
  members -p                  Show members of this cluster and their state.
  reachability -p             Check if the cluster is reachable.
  force-leave -p <node_name>  Forcefully remove a node from the cluster (useful
                              if the node is in a failed state).
  keys install <key>          Install a new key onto Kong‘s internal keyring. This
                              will enable the key for decryption. The key will not
                              be used to encrypt messages until the primary key is
                              changed.
  keys use <key>              Change the primary key used for encrypting messages.
                              All nodes in the cluster must already have this key
                              installed if they are to continue communicating with
                              eachother.
  keys remove <key>           Remove a key from Kong‘s internal keyring. The key
                              being removed may not be the current primary key.
  keys list                   List all currently known keys in the cluster. This
                              will ask all nodes in the cluster for a list of keys
                              and dump a summary containing each key and the
                              number of members it is installed on to the console.

Options:
  -c,--conf   (optional string) configuration file
  -p,--prefix (optional string) prefix Kong is running at

Usage: kong compile [OPTIONS]

Compile the Nginx configuration file containing Kong‘s servers
contexts from a given Kong configuration file.

Example usage:
  kong compile -c kong.conf > /usr/local/openresty/nginx-kong.conf

  This file can then be included in an OpenResty configuration:

  http {
      # ...
      include ‘nginx-kong.conf‘;
  }

Note:
  Third-party services such as Serf need to be properly configured
  and started for Kong to be fully compatible while embedded.

Options:
  -c,--conf (optional string) configuration file

Usage: kong health [OPTIONS]

Check if the necessary services are running for this node.

Options:
  -p,--prefix (optional string) prefix at which Kong should be running

Usage: kong migrations COMMAND [OPTIONS]

The available commands are:
  list   List migrations currently executed.
  up     Execute all missing migrations up to the latest available.
  reset  Reset the configured database (irreversible).

Options:

Usage: kong quit [OPTIONS]

Gracefully quit a running Kong node (Nginx and other

stopped (SIGTERM).

Options:
  -p,--prefix  (optional string) prefix Kong is running at
  -t,--timeout (default 10) timeout before forced shutdown

Usage: kong reload [OPTIONS]

Reload a Kong node (and start other configured services

new workers (taking configuration changes into account),
and stop the old ones when they have finished processing
current requests.

Options:
  -c,--conf    (optional string) configuration file
  -p,--prefix  (optional string) prefix Kong is running at
  --nginx-conf (optional string) custom Nginx configuration template

Usage: kong restart [OPTIONS]

Restart a Kong node (and other configured services like Serf)
in the given prefix directory.

This command is equivalent to doing both ‘kong stop‘ and
‘kong start‘.

Options:
  -c,--conf    (optional string) configuration file
  -p,--prefix  (optional string) prefix at which Kong should be running
  --nginx-conf (optional string) custom Nginx configuration template

Usage: kong start [OPTIONS]
