## Q: How does Atlas integration work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consul makes use of a HashiCorp service called [SCADA](http://scada.hashicorp.com)
|
|
|
|
|
(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition). The SCADA system allows clients to maintain
|
|
|
|
|
long-running connections to Atlas. Atlas can in turn provide auto-join facilities for
|
|
|
|
|
Consul agents (supervisory control) and an integrated dashboard showing the health of
|
|
|
|
|
all connected agents (data acquisition).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Standard ACLs can be applied to the SCADA connection, ensuring that Atlas is given only
|
|
|
|
|
those privileges that make sense for your deployment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the SCADA service is optional. SCADA is only enabled by opt-in.

## Q: Does Consul rely on UDP Broadcast or Multicast?

The default ulimits are usually sufficient for Consul, but you should closely
|
|
|
|
|
scrutinize your own environment's specific needs and identify the root cause
|
|
|
|
|
of any excessive resource utilization before arbitrarily increasing the limits.

## Q: What is the per-key value size limitation for Consul's key/value store?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The limit on a key's value size is 512KB. This is is strictly enforced and a
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP 413 status will be returned to any client that attempts to store more
|
|
|
|
|
than that limit in a value. It should be noted that the Consul key/value store
|
|
|
|
|
is not designed to be used as a general purpose database. See

[Server Performance](https://www.consul.io/docs/guides/performance.html) for
