 As of Consul 0.7.0, the peers.json file is only used for recovery
-after an outage. It should be formatted as a JSON array containing the address
-and port of each Consul server in the cluster, like this:
-
-["10.1.0.1:8300","10.1.0.2:8300","10.1.0.3:8300"]
+after an outage. The format of this file depends on what the server has
+configured for its Raft protocol version. Please see the agent configuration
+page at https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#_raft_protocol for more
+details about this parameter.
+
+For Raft protocol version 2 and earlier, this should be formatted as a JSON
+array containing the address and port of each Consul server in the cluster, like
+this:
+
+[
+  "10.1.0.1:8300",
+  "10.1.0.2:8300",
+  "10.1.0.3:8300"
+]
+
+For Raft protocol version 3 and later, this should be formatted as a JSON
+array containing the node ID, address:port, and suffrage information of each
+Consul server in the cluster, like this:
+
+[
+  {
+    "id": "adf4238a-882b-9ddc-4a9d-5b6758e4159e",

+    "address": "10.1.0.3:8300",
+    "non_voter": false
+  }
+]
+
+The "id" field is the node ID of the server. This can be found in the logs when
+the server starts up, or in the "node-id" file inside the server's data
+directory.
+
+The "address" field is the address and port of the server.
+
+The "non_voter" field controls whether the server is a non-voter, which is used
+in some advanced Autopilot configurations, please see
+https://www.consul.io/docs/guides/autopilot.html for more information. If
+"non_voter" is omitted it will default to false, which is typical for most
+clusters.
 
 Under normal operation, the peers.json file will not be present.
