Hi Jean Paul, Yes, the gossiper is used. Example with down nodes:1. The status command retrieve unreachable nodes from a NodeProbe instance: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/tools/nodetool/Status.java#L64 2. The NodeProbe list comes from a StorageService proxy: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/tools/NodeProbe.java#L4383. The proxy calls the Gossiper singleton: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/service/StorageService.java#L2681 Best, Romain
