Grégoire Seux 4f62a3b528 Implement /v1/agent/health/service/<service name> endpoint (#3551 ) This endpoint aggregates all checks related to <service id> on the agent and return an appropriate http code + the string describing the worst check. This allows to cleanly expose service status to other component, hiding complexity of multiple checks. This is especially useful to use consul to feed a load balancer which would delegate health checking to consul agent. Exposing this endpoint on the agent is necessary to avoid a hit on consul servers and avoid decreasing resiliency (this endpoint will work even if there is no consul leader in the cluster).		6 years ago

Consul

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.

Consul provides several key features:

Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
