list

List all alarm events that have not been acknowledged (cleared).

clear

Clear (acknowledge) all current alarms.

resolve ALARM [ALARM...]

Clear (acknowledge) an alarm event. The arguments are a specific alarm number (e.g. ''1''), or an alarm string identifier (e.g. ''MGMT_ALARM_PROXY_CONFIG_ERROR'').

defaults [--records]

Display the default values for all configuration records. The --records* flag has the same behavior as traffic_ctl config get --records.

describe RECORD [RECORD...]

Display all the known information about a configuration record. This includes the current and default values, the data type, the record class and syntax checking expression.

diff [--records]

Display configuration records that have non-default values. The --records* flag has the same behavior as traffic_ctl config get --records.

get [--records] RECORD [RECORD...]

Display the current value of a configuration record.

--records

If this flag is provided, traffic_ctl config get will emit results in records.config format.

match [--records] REGEX [REGEX...]

Display the current values of all configuration variables whose names match the given regular expression. The --records flag has the same behavior as traffic_ctl config get --records.

reload

Initiate a Traffic Server configuration reload. Use this command to update the running configuration after any configuration file modification. If no configuration files have been modified since the previous configuration load, this command is a no-op.

The timestamp of the last reconfiguration event (in seconds since epoch) is published in the proxy.node.config.reconfigure_time metric.

set RECORD VALUE

Set the named configuration record to the specified value. Refer to the records.config documentation for a list of the configuration variables you can specify. Note that this is not a synchronous operation.

status

Display detailed status about the Traffic Server configuration system. This includes version information, whether the internal configuration store is current and whether any daemon processes should be restarted.

get METRIC [METRIC...]

Display the current value of the specifies statistics.

match REGEX [REGEX...]

Display the current values of all statistics whose names match the given regular expression.

zero METRIC [METRIC...]

Reset the named statistics to zero.

restart

Shut down and immediately restart Traffic Server

--drain

This option modifies the behavior of traffic_ctl server restart such that traffic_server is not shut down until the number of active client connections drops to the number given by the proxy.config.restart.active_client_threshold configuration variable.

--manager

The default behavior of traffic_ctl server restart is to restart traffic_server. If this option is specified, traffic_manager is also restarted.

start

Start traffic_server if it is already running.

--clear-cache

Clear the disk cache upon startup.

--clear-hostdb

Clear the DNS resolver cache upon startup.

status

Show the current proxy server status, indicating if we're running or not.

stop

Stop the running traffic_server process.

backtrace

Show a full stack trace of all the traffic_server threads.

offline PATH [PATH ...]

Mark a cache storage device as offline. The storage is identified by PATH which must match exactly a path specified in storage.config. This removes the storage from the cache and redirects requests that would have used this storage to other storage. This has exactly the same effect as a disk failure for that storage. This does not persist across restarts of the traffic_server process.

msg TAG DATA

Send a message to plugins. All plugins that have hooked the TSLifecycleHookID::TS_LIFECYCLE_MSG_HOOK will receive a callback for that hook. The TAG and DATA will be available to the plugin hook processing. It is expected that plugins will use TAG to select relevant messages and determine the format of the DATA. The DATA is optional and may not be available to consume, if not available then size will be 0 and the data will be NULL. Any extra passed value beside the tag and the optional data will be ignored. Check TSPluginMsg for more info.

--time count

Set the duration of an operation to count seconds. A value of 0 means no duration, the condition persists until explicitly changed. The default is 0 if an operation requires a time and none is provided by this option.

--reason active | local | manual

Sets the reason for the operation.

Internally the reason can be self_detect if proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.self_detect is set to the value 2 (the default). This is used to prevent parent selection from creating a loop by selecting itself as the upstream by marking this reason as "down" in that case.

NOTE:

status HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...]

Get the current status of the specified hosts with respect to their use as targets for parent selection. This returns the same information as the per host stat.

down HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...]

Marks the listed hosts as down so that they will not be chosen as a next hop parent. If --time is included the host is marked down for the specified number of seconds after which the host will automatically be marked up. A host is not marked up until all reason codes are cleared by marking up the host for the specified reason code.

Supports --time, --reason.

up HOSTNAME [HOSTNAME ...]

Marks the listed hosts as up so that they will be available for use as a next hop parent. Use --reason to mark the host reason code. The 'self_detect' is an internal reason code used by parent selection to mark down a parent when it is identified as itself and

Supports --reason.
