consul-kv: Read a value from the key-value store.
$ consul kv get ${key}
try on your machine
The command "consul kv get ${key}" is used to retrieve the value of a key from the Consul key-value store.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "consul" refers to the Consul binary or CLI tool.
- "kv" signifies that we will be performing operations on the key-value store.
- "get" is the action we want to perform, which is to retrieve the value.
- "${key}" is a placeholder that represents the actual key you want to retrieve the value for. It should be replaced with the specific key you are interested in.
For example, if you want to retrieve the value for a key named "myKey", you would run the command "consul kv get myKey". Consul will access its distributed key-value store and return the value associated with that key.
