Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
behavior string	Choices: delete release ←	The optional behavior that can be attached to the session when it is created. This controls the behavior when a session is invalidated.
checks list / elements=string		Checks that will be used to verify the session health. If all the checks fail, the session will be invalidated and any locks associated with the session will be release and can be acquired once the associated lock delay has expired.
datacenter string		The name of the datacenter in which the session exists or should be created.
delay integer	Default: 15	The optional lock delay that can be attached to the session when it is created. Locks for invalidated sessions ar blocked from being acquired until this delay has expired. Durations are in seconds.
host string	Default: "localhost"	The host of the consul agent defaults to localhost.
id string		ID of the session, required when state is either `info` or `remove`.

scheme string	Default: "http"	The protocol scheme on which the consul agent is running.
state string	Choices: absent info list node present ←	Whether the session should be present i.e. created if it doesn't exist, or absent, removed if present. If created, the id for the session is returned in the output. If `absent`, id is required to remove the session. Info for a single session, all the sessions for a node or all available sessions can be retrieved by specifying `info`, `node` or `list` for the state; for `node` or `info`, the node name or session id is required as parameter.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Whether to verify the TLS certificate of the consul agent.
