page_title: Service Splitter - Configuration Entry Reference
description: >-
The service splitter configuration entry kind defines how to divide service mesh traffic between service instances. Use the reference guide to learn about `""service-splitter""` config entry parameters and how it can be used for traffic management behaviors like canary rollouts, blue green deployment, and load balancing across environments.
---
# Service Splitter Configuration Entry
-> **v1.8.4+:** On Kubernetes, the `ServiceSplitter` custom resource is supported in Consul versions 1.8.4+.<br />
**v1.6.0+:** On other platforms, this config entry is supported in Consul versions 1.6.0+.
The `service-splitter` config entry kind (`ServiceSplitter` on Kubernetes) controls how to split incoming Connect
requests across different subsets of a single service (like during staged
canary rollouts), or perhaps across different services (like during a v2
rewrite or other type of codebase migration).
If no splitter config is defined for a service it is assumed 100% of traffic
flows to a service with the same name and discovery continues on to the
resolution stage.
## Interaction with other Config Entries
- Service splitter config entries are a component of [L7 Traffic
Management](/docs/connect/l7-traffic).
- Service splitter config entries are restricted to only services that define
their protocol as http-based via a corresponding
[`service-defaults`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults) config
entry or globally via
[`proxy-defaults`](/docs/connect/config-entries/proxy-defaults) .
- Any split destination that specifies a different `Service` field and omits
the `ServiceSubset` field is eligible for further splitting should a splitter
be configured for that other service, otherwise resolution proceeds according
to any configured
[`service-resolver`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver).
## UI
Once a `service-splitter` is successfully entered, you can view it in the UI. Service routers, service splitters, and service resolvers can all be viewed by clicking on your service then switching to the _routing_ tab.

## Sample Config Entries
### Two subsets of same service
Split traffic between two subsets of the same service:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-splitter"
Name = "web"
Splits = [
{
Weight = 90
ServiceSubset = "v1"
},
{
Weight = 10
ServiceSubset = "v2"
},
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceSplitter
metadata:
name: web
spec:
splits:
- weight: 90
serviceSubset: v1
- weight: 10
serviceSubset: v2
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-splitter",
"Name": "web",
"Splits": [
{
"Weight": 90,
"ServiceSubset": "v1"
},
{
"Weight": 10,
"ServiceSubset": "v2"
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
### Two different services
Split traffic between two services:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-splitter"
Name = "web"
Splits = [
{
Weight = 50
# will default to service with same name as config entry ("web")
},
{
Weight = 50
Service = "web-rewrite"
},
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceSplitter
metadata:
name: web
spec:
splits:
- weight: 50
# will default to service with same name as config entry ("web")
- weight: 50
service: web-rewrite
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-splitter",
"Name": "web",
"Splits": [
{
"Weight": 50
},
{
"Weight": 50,
"Service": "web-rewrite"
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
### Set HTTP Headers
Split traffic between two subsets with extra headers added so clients can tell
which version:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-splitter"
Name = "web"
Splits = [
{
Weight = 90
ServiceSubset = "v1"
ResponseHeaders {
Set {
"X-Web-Version": "v1"
}
}
},
{
Weight = 10
ServiceSubset = "v2"
ResponseHeaders {
Set {
"X-Web-Version": "v2"
}
}
},
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceSplitter
metadata:
name: web
spec:
splits:
- weight: 90
serviceSubset: v1
responseHeaders:
set:
x-web-version: v1
- weight: 10
serviceSubset: v2
responseHeaders:
set:
x-web-version: v2
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-splitter",
"Name": "web",
"Splits": [
{
"Weight": 90,
"ServiceSubset": "v1",
"ResponseHeaders": {
"Set": {
"X-Web-Version": "v1"
}
}
},
{
"Weight": 10,
"ServiceSubset": "v2",
"ResponseHeaders": {
"Set": {
"X-Web-Version": "v2"
}
}
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>

## ACLs
Configuration entries may be protected by [ACLs](/docs/security/acl).
Reading a `service-splitter` config entry requires `service:read` on the resource.
Creating, updating, or deleting a `service-splitter` config entry requires
`service:write` on the resource and `service:read` on any other service referenced by
name in these fields:
- [`Splits[].Service`](#service)
