Report maintenance status.

This command reports maintenance status for each node in the cluster. The output is presented as a table with each row representing a node in the cluster. The output can be used to monitor the progress of node draining.

| Value | Description |
| --- | --- |
| NODE-ID | ENABLED FINISHED ERRORS PARTITIONS ELIGIBLE TRANSFERRING FAILED |
| 1 | false false false 0 0 0 0 |

Field descriptions:

```text
     NODE-ID: the node ID
     ENABLED: true if the node is currently in maintenance mode (draining)
    FINISHED: leadership draining has completed
      ERRORS: errors have been encountered while draining
  PARTITIONS: number of partitions whose leadership has moved
    ELIGIBLE: number of partitions with leadership eligible to move
TRANSFERRING: current active number of leadership transfers
      FAILED: number of failed leadership transfers
```

Notes:

-   When errors are present further information will be available in the logs for the corresponding node.

-   Only partitions with more than one replica are eligible for leadership transfer.

-   FINISHED, ERRORS, PARTITIONS, ELIGIBLE, TRANSFERRING, and FAILED are only populated while a node is in maintenance mode (ENABLED=true).


For example:

NODE-ID  ENABLED  FINISHED  ERRORS  PARTITIONS  ELIGIBLE  TRANSFERRING  FAILED
1        false    false     false   0           0         0             0

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| NODE-ID | The node ID. |
| ENABLED | true if the broker is currently in maintenance mode. |
| FINISHED | Leadership draining has completed. |
| ERRORS | Errors have been encountered while draining. |
| PARTITIONS | Number of partitions whose leadership has moved. |
| ELIGIBLE | Number of partitions with leadership eligible to move. |
| TRANSFERRING | Current active number of leadership transfers. |
| FAILED | Number of failed leadership transfers. |
