» consul_service

A high-level resource for creating a Service in Consul in the Consul catalog. This is appropriate for registering external services and can be used to create services addressable by Consul that cannot be registered with a local agent.

If the Consul agent is running on the node where this service is registered, it is not recommended to use this resource.

» Example Usage

Creating a new node with the service:

resource "consul_service" "google" {
  name    = "google"
  node    = "${consul_node.compute.name}"
  port    = 80
  tags    = ["tag0"]
}

resource "consul_node" "compute" {
  name    = "compute-google"
  address = "www.google.com"
}

Utilizing an existing known node:

resource "consul_service" "google" {
  name    = "google"
  node    = "google"
  port    = 443
}

Register an health-check:

resource "consul_service" "redis" {
  name = "redis"
  node = "redis"
  port = 6379

  check {
    check_id                          = "service:redis1"
    name                              = "Redis health check"
    status                            = "passing"
    http                              = "https://www.hashicorptest.com"
    tls_skip_verify                   = false
    method                            = "PUT"
    interval                          = "5s"
    timeout                           = "1s"
    deregister_critical_service_after = "30s"

    header {
      name  = "foo"
      value = ["test"]
    }

    header {
      name  = "bar"
      value = ["test"]
    }
  }
}

» Argument Reference

  • name - (Required, string) The name of the service.

  • node - (Required, string) The name of the node the to register the service on.

  • address - (Optional, string) The address of the service. Defaults to the address of the node.

  • service_id (Optional, string) - If the service ID is not provided, it will be defaulted to the value of the name attribute.

  • port - (Optional, int) The port of the service.

  • external - (Optional, boolean) Whether to register this service as an external service. This can be useful when using Consul External Service Monitor

  • checks - (Optional, list of checks) Health-checks to register to monitor the service. The list of attributes for each health-check is detailled below.

  • tags - (Optional, set of strings) A list of values that are opaque to Consul, but can be used to distinguish between services or nodes.

  • datacenter - (Optional) The datacenter to use. This overrides the datacenter in the provider setup and the agent's default datacenter.

The following attributes are available for each health-check:

  • check_id - (Optional, string) An ID, unique per agent. Will default to name if not set.
  • name - (Required) The name of the health-check.
  • notes - (Optional, string) An opaque field meant to hold human readable text.
  • status - (Optional, string) The initial health-check status. Defaults to critical.
  • tcp - (Optional, string) The TCP address and port to connect to for a TCP check.
  • http - (Optional, string) The HTTP endpoint to call for an HTTP check.
  • header - (Optional, set of headers) The headers to send for an HTTP check. The attributes of each header is given below.
  • tls_skip_verify - (Optional, boolean) Whether to deactivate certificate verification for HTTP health-checks. Defaults to false.
  • method - (Optional, string) The method to use for HTTP health-checks. Defaults to GET.
  • interval - (Required, string) The interval to wait between each health-check invocation.
  • timeout - (Required, string) The timeout value for HTTP checks.
  • deregister_critical_service_after - (Required, string) The time after which the service is automatically deregistered when in the critical state.

Each header must have the following attributes: * name - (Required, string) The name of the header. * value - (Required, list of strings) The header's list of values.
