The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing the following fields:

`Field`	Type	Description
`info`	Object	Information that may be useful for debugging consensus. This output is subject to change without notice.

The following is an incomplete summary of fields that may be contained in the info object:

`Field`	Type	Description
`ledger_seq`	Number	The ledger index of the ledger currently in the consensus process
`our_position`	Object	This server's expectation for the ledger in the consensus process.
`peer_positions`	Object	Map of peers and their proposed versions of the ledger in the consensus process.
`proposers`	Number	The number of trusted validators participating in this consensus process. Which validators are trusted depends on this server's configuration.
`synched`	Boolean	Whether this server considers itself in sync with the network.
`state`	String	What part of the consensus process is currently in progress: `open`, `consensus`, `finished`, or `accepted`.

It is also normal to get a minimal result where the only field in info is "consensus": "none". This indicates that the server is in between consensus rounds.

The results of the consensus_info command can vary dramatically if you run it several times, even in short succession.
