Consul

Introduction

Consul is a tool developed by HashiCorp that provides service discovery, configuration management, and a key-value store. It is commonly used for microservices architectures, especially in environments like Kubernetes (K8s), where services can dynamically scale and change.

Consul can be deployed to manage service discovery and health checking, and it can be integrated with other tools like Prometheus for monitoring and metrics collection.

Kubernetes 2.0 ConfigMap

Users should update or append the existing ConfigMap named opsramp-workload-metric-user-config by adding application-specific fields. These fields may include authentication credentials, collection frequency, and other relevant configurations.

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: opsramp-workload-metric-user-config
  namespace: opsramp-agent
data:
  workloads: |
    consul:
    - name: consul
      collectionFrequency: 10s
      port: 9107
      targetPodSelector:
        matchLabels:
