# Property override configuration reference
This topic describes how to configure the `property-override` extension so that you can set and remove individual properties on the Envoy resources Consul generates. Refer to [Configure Envoy proxy properties](/consul/docs/connect/proxies/envoy-extensions/usage/property-override) for usage information.
## Configuration model
The following list outlines the field hierarchy, data types, and requirements for the `property-override` configuration. Place the configuration inside the `EnvoyExtension.Arguments` field in the proxy defaults or service defaults configuration entry. Refer the following documentation for additional information:
- [`EnvoyExtensions` in proxy defaults](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/proxy-defaults#envoyextensions)
- [`EnvoyExtensions` in service defaults](/consul/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults#envoyextensions)

## Complete configuration
When each field is defined, a `property-override` configuration has the following form:
```hcl
ProxyType = "connect-proxy"
Debug = false
Patches = [
{
ResourceFilter = {
ResourceType = "<type of resource>"
TrafficDirection = "<inbound or outbound>"
Services = [
{
Name = "<name of service to filter for>",
Namespace = "<Consul namespace containing the service>"
Partition = "<Consul partition containing the service>"
}
]
Op = "<add or remove>",
Path = "<path/to/field>",
Value = "<values or map of field-values>"
}
]
```
## Specification
This section provides details about the fields you can configure for the `property-override` extension.
### `ProxyType`
Specifies the type of Envoy proxy that the extension applies to. The only supported value is `connect-proxy`.
#### Values
- Default: `connect-proxy`
- Data type: String
### `Debug`
Enables full debug mode. When `Debug` is set to `true`, all possible fields for the given `ResourceType` and first unmatched segment of `Path` are returned on error. When set to `false`, the error message only includes the first ten possible fields.
#### Values
- Default: `false`
- Data type: Boolean
### `Patches[]`
Specifies a list of one or more JSON Patches that map to the Envoy proxy configurations you want to modify. Refer to [IETF RFC 6902](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902/) for information about the JSON Patch specification.
#### Values
- Default: None
- The `Patches` parameter is a list of configurations in JSON Patch format. Each patch can contain the following fields:
- [`ResourceFilter`](#patches-resourcefilter)
- [`Op`](#patches-op)
- [`Path`](#patches-path)
- [`Value`](#patches-value)
### `Patches[].ResourceFilter{}`
Specifies the filter for targeting specific Envoy resources. The `ResourceFilter` configuration is not part of the JSON Patch specification.
#### Values
- Default: None
- This field is required.
- Data type: Map
The following table describes how to configure a `ResourceFilter`:
| Parameter | Description | Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `ProxyType` | Specifies the proxy type that the extension applies to. The only supported value is `connect-proxy`. | String |
| `ResourceType` | Specifies the Envoy resource type that the extension applies to. You can specify one of the following values for each `ResourceFilter`: <ul><li>`cluster`</li><li>`cluster-load-assignment`</li><li>`route`</li><li>`listener`</li></ul> | String |
| `TrafficDirection` | Specifies the type of traffic that the extension applies to relative to the current proxy. You can specify one of the following values for each `ResourceFilter`: <ul><li>`inbound`: Targets resources for the proxy's inbound traffic.</li> <li>`outbound`: Targets resources for the proxy's upstream services.</li></ul> | String |
| `Services` | Specifies a list of services to target. Each member of the list has the following fields:<ul><li>`Name`: Specifies the service associated with the traffic.</li><li>`Namespace`: Specifies the Consul Enterprise namespace the service is in.</li><li>`Partition`: Specifies the Consul Enterprise admin partition the service is in.</li> </ul>If `TrafficDirection` is set to `outbound`, upstream services in this field correspond to local Envoy resources that Consul patches at runtime. <p>Do not configure the `Services` field if `TrafficDirection` is set to `inbound`.</p> If this field is not set, Envoy targets all applicable resources. When patching outbound listeners, the patch includes the outbound transparent proxy listener only if `Services` is unset and if the local service is in transparent proxy mode. | List of maps |
### `Patches[].Op`
Specifies the JSON Patch operation to perform when the `ResourceFilter` matches a local Envoy proxy configuration. You can specify one of the following values for each patch:
- `add`: Replaces a property or message specified by [`Path`](#patches-path) with the given value. The JSON patch format does not merge objects. To emulate merges, you must configure discrete `add` operations for each changed field. Consul returns an error if the target field does not exist in the corresponding schema.
- `remove`: Unsets the value of the field specified by [`Path`](#patches-path). If the field is not set, no changes are made. Consul returns an error if the target field does not exist in the corresponding schema.
#### Values
- Default: None
- This field is required.
- Data type is one of the following string values:
- `add`
- `remove`
### `Patches[].Path`
Specifies where the extension performs the associated operation on the specified resource type. Refer to [`ResourceType`](#patches-resourcefilter) for information about specifying a resource type to target. Refer to [`Op`](#patches-op) for information about setting an operation to perform on the resources.
The `Path` field does not support addressing array elements or protobuf map field entries. Refer to [Constructing paths](/consul/docs/connect/proxies/envoy-extensions/usage/property-override#constructing-paths) for information about how to construct paths.
When setting fields, the extension sets any unset intermediate fields to their default values. A a single operation on a nested field can set multiple intermediate fields. Because Consul sets the intermediate fields to their default values, you may need to configure subsequent patches to satisfy Envoy or Consul validation.
#### Values
- Default: None
- This field is required.
- Data type: String
### `Patches[].Value{}`
Defines a value to set at the specified [path](#patches-path) if the [operation](#patches-op) is set to `add`. You can specify either a scalar or enum value or define a map that contains string keys and values corresponding to scalar or enum child fields. Refer to the [example configurations](#examples) for additional guidance and to the [Envoy API documentation](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/api) for additional information about Envoy proxy interfaces.
If Envoy specifies a wrapper as the target field type, the extension automatically coerces simple values to the wrapped type when patching. For example, the value `32768` is allowed when targeting a cluster's `per_connection_buffer_limit_bytes`, which is a `UInt32Value` field. Refer to the [protobuf documentation](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/google/protobuf/wrappers.proto) for additional information about wrappers.
#### Values
- Default: None
- This field is required if [`Op`](#patches-op) is set to `add`, otherwise you must omit the field.
- This field takes one of the following data types:
- scalar
- enum
- map
## Examples
The following examples demonstrate patterns that you may be able to model your configurations on.
### Enable `enforcing_consecutive_5xx` outlier detection
In the following example, the `add` operation patches an outlier detection property into outbound cluster traffic. The `Path` specifies the `enforcing_consecutive_5xx` interface and sets a value of `1234`:
```hcl
Kind = "service-defaults"
Name = "my-svc"
Protocol = "http"
EnvoyExtensions = [
{
Name = "builtin/property-override",
Arguments = {
ProxyType = "connect-proxy",
Patches = [
{
"ResourceFilter" = {
"ResourceType" = "cluster",
"TrafficDirection" = "outbound",
"Service" = {
"Name" = "other-svc"
},
},
"Op" = "add",
"Path" = "/outlier_detection/enforcing_consecutive_5xx",
"Value" = 1234,
}
]
}
}
]
```
### Update multiple values in the default map
In the following example, two `ResourceFilter` blocks target outbound traffic to the `db` service and add `/outlier_detection/enforcing_consecutive_5xx` and `/outlier_detection/failure_percentage_request_volume` properties:
```hcl
Kind = "service-defaults"
Name = "my-svc"
Protocol = "http"
EnvoyExtensions = [
{
Name = "builtin/property-override",
Arguments = {
ProxyType = "connect-proxy",
Patches = [
{
ResourceFilter = {
ResourceType = "cluster",
TrafficDirection = "outbound",
Services = [{
Name = "other-svc"
}],
},
Op = "add",
Path = "/outlier_detection/enforcing_consecutive_5xx",
Value = 1234,
},
{
ResourceFilter = {
ResourceType = "cluster",
TrafficDirection = "outbound",
Services = [{
Name = "other-svc"
}],
},
Op = "add",
Path = "/outlier_detection/failure_percentage_request_volume",
Value = 2345,
}
]
}
}
]
```
### Set multiple values that replace the map
In the following example, a `ResourceFilter` targets outbound traffic to the `db` service and replaces the map of properties located at `/outlier_detection` with `enforcing_consecutive_5xx` and `failure_percentage_request_volume` and properties:
```hcl
Kind = "service-defaults"
Name = "my-svc"
Protocol = "http"
EnvoyExtensions = [
{
Name = "builtin/property-override",
Arguments = {
ProxyType = "connect-proxy",
Patches = [
{
ResourceFilter = {
ResourceType = "cluster",
TrafficDirection = "outbound",
Services = [{
Name = "other-svc"
}],
},
Op = "add",
Path = "/outlier_detection",
Value = {
"enforcing_consecutive_5xx" = 1234,
"failure_percentage_request_volume" = 2345,
},
}
]
}
}
]
```
