# Service Router
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
-> **1.6.0+:** This config entry is available in Consul versions 1.6.0 and newer.
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
The `service-router` config entry kind controls Connect traffic routing and
manipulation at networking layer 7 (e.g. HTTP).
If a router is not explicitly configured or is configured with no routes then
the system behaves as if a router were configured sending all traffic to a
service of the same name.
## Interaction with other Config Entries
- Service router config entries are a component of [L7 Traffic
2020-04-09 23:46:54 +00:00
Management](/docs/connect/l7-traffic-management).
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
- Service router config entries are restricted to only services that define
their protocol as http-based via a corresponding
2020-04-09 23:46:54 +00:00
[`service-defaults`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-defaults) config
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
entry or globally via
2020-04-09 23:46:54 +00:00
[`proxy-defaults`](/docs/agent/config-entries/proxy-defaults) .
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
- Any route destination that omits the `ServiceSubset` field is eligible for
splitting via a
2020-04-09 23:46:54 +00:00
[`service-splitter`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-splitter) should
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
one be configured for that service, otherwise resolution proceeds according
to any configured

[`service-resolver`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-resolver).
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
## Sample Config Entries
Route HTTP requests with a path starting with `/admin` to a different service:
```hcl
kind = "service-router"
name = "web"
routes = [
{
match {
http {
path_prefix = "/admin"
}
}
destination {
service = "admin"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
Route HTTP requests with a special url parameter or header to a canary subset:
```hcl
kind = "service-router"
name = "web"
routes = [
{
match {
http {
header = [
{
name = "x-debug"
exact = "1"
},
]
}
}
destination {
service = "web"
service_subset = "canary"
}
},
{
match {
http {
query_param = [
{
name = "x-debug"
exact = "1"
2019-07-09 02:11:19 +00:00
},
]
}
}
destination {
service = "web"
service_subset = "canary"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
Re-route a gRPC method to another service. Since gRPC method calls [are
HTTP2](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md), we can use an HTTP path match rule to re-route traffic:
```hcl
kind = "service-router"
name = "billing"
routes = [
{
match {
http {
path_exact = "/mycompany.BillingService/GenerateInvoice"
}
}
destination {
service = "invoice-generator"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "billing"
]
```

## Available Fields
- `Kind` - Must be set to `service-router`
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Set to the name of the service being configured.
- `Routes` `(array<ServiceRoute>)` - The list of routes to consider when
processing L7 requests. The first route to match in the list is terminal and
stops further evaluation. Traffic that fails to match any of the provided
routes will be routed to the default service.

- `Match` `(ServiceRouteMatch: <optional>)` - A set of criteria that can
match incoming L7 requests. If empty or omitted it acts as a catch-all.

- `HTTP` `(ServiceRouteHTTPMatch: <optional>)` - A set of
[http-specific match criteria](#serviceroutehttpmatch).
2020-04-06 20:27:35 +00:00

proxy](#serviceroutedestination) the matching request(s) to a
service.

## ACLs
Configuration entries may be protected by
[ACLs](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/production-acls).
Reading a `service-router` config entry requires `service:read` on itself.
Creating, updating, or deleting a `service-router` config entry requires
`service:write` on itself and `service:read` on any other service referenced by
name in these fields:
