»Service Resolver

Kind - Must be set to service-resolver

Name (string: <required>) - Set to the name of the service being configured.

Namespace (string: "default")

Partition (string: "default")

Meta (map<string|string>: nil) - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata pairs. Added in Consul 1.8.4.

ConnectTimeout (duration: 0s) - The timeout for establishing new network connections to this service.

DefaultSubset (string: "") - The subset to use when no explicit subset is requested. If empty the unnamed subset is used.

Subsets (map[string]ServiceResolverSubset) - A map of subset name to subset definition for all usable named subsets of this service. The map key is the name of the subset and all names must be valid DNS subdomain elements.

This may be empty, in which case only the unnamed default subset will be usable.

• Filter (string: "") - The filter expression to be used for selecting instances of the requested service. If empty all healthy instances are returned. This expression can filter on the same selectors as the Health API endpoint.

• OnlyPassing (bool: false) - Specifies the behavior of the resolver's health check interpretation. If this is set to false, instances with checks in the passing as well as the warning states will be considered healthy. If this is set to true, only instances with checks in the passing state will be considered healthy.

Redirect (ServiceResolverRedirect: <optional>) - When configured, all attempts to resolve the service this resolver defines will be substituted for the supplied redirect EXCEPT when the redirect has already been applied.

When Redirect is set, all other fields besides Kind, Name, Namespace and Redirect will be ignored.

• Service (string: "") - A service to resolve instead of the current service.

• ServiceSubset (string: "") - A named subset of the given service to resolve instead of one defined as that service's DefaultSubset. If empty, the default subset is used.
  
  If this is specified at least one of Service, Datacenter, or Namespace should be configured.

• Namespace (string: "")

  Enterprise
  - Specifies the destination namespace to resolve the service from.

• Partition (string: "")

  Enterprise
  - Specifies the destination admin partition to resolve the service from.

• Datacenter (string: "") - Specifies the destination datacenter to resolve the service from.

Failover (map[string]ServiceResolverFailover) - Controls when and how to reroute traffic to an alternate pool of service instances.

The map is keyed by the service subset it applies to and the special string "*" is a wildcard that applies to any subset not otherwise specified here.

Service, ServiceSubset, Namespace, and Datacenters cannot all be empty at once.

• Service (string: "") - The service to resolve instead of the default as the failover group of instances during failover.

• ServiceSubset (string: "") - The named subset of the requested service to resolve as the failover group of instances. If empty the default subset for the requested service is used.

• Namespace (string: "")

  Enterprise
  - The namespace to resolve the requested service from to form the failover group of instances. If empty the current namespace is used.

• Datacenters (array<string>) - A fixed list of datacenters to try during failover.

LoadBalancer (LoadBalancer) - Determines the load balancing policy and configuration for services issuing requests to this upstream. This option is available in Consul versions 1.9.0 and newer.

• Policy (string: "") - The load balancing policy used to select a host. One of: random, round_robin, least_request, ring_hash, maglev.

• RingHashConfig (RingHashConfig) - Configuration for the ring_hash policy type.

  • MinimumRingSize (int: 1024) - Determines the minimum number of entries in the hash ring.

  • MaximumRingSize (int: 8192) - Determines the maximum number of entries in the hash ring.

• LeastRequestConfig (LeastRequestConfig) - Configuration for the least_request policy type.

  • ChoiceCount (int: 2) - Determines the number of random healthy hosts from which to select the one with the least requests.

• HashPolicies (array<HashPolicies>) - List of hash policies to use for hashing load balancing algorithms. Hash policies are evaluated individually and combined such that identical lists result in the same hash. If no hash policies are present, or none are successfully evaluated, then a random backend host will be selected.

  • Field (string: "") - The attribute type to hash on. Must be one of header, cookie, or query_parameter. Cannot be specified along with SourceIP.

  • FieldValue (string: "") - The value to hash. ie. header name, cookie name, URL query parameter name. Cannot be specified along with SourceIP.

  • CookieConfig (CookieConfig) - Additional configuration for the "cookie" hash policy type. This is specified to have Envoy generate a cookie for a client on its first request.

    • Session (bool: false) - Generates a session cookie with no expiration.

    • TTL (duration: 0s) - TTL for generated cookies. Cannot be specified for session cookies.

    • Path (string: "") - The path to set for the cookie.

  • SourceIP (bool: false) - Determines whether the hash should be of the source IP address rather than of a field and field value. Cannot be specified along with Field or FieldValue.

  • Terminal (bool: false) - Will short circuit the computation of the hash when multiple hash policies are present. If a hash is computed when a Terminal policy is evaluated, then that hash will be used and subsequent hash policies will be ignored.
