## Managing Configuration Entries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See [Agent - Config Entries](/docs/agent/config-entries).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using Configuration Entries For Service Defaults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Outside of Kubernetes, when the agent is
|
2022-01-11 01:30:50 +00:00
|
|
|
[configured](/docs/agent/config/config-files#enable_central_service_config) to enable
|
2021-01-13 20:48:48 +00:00
|
|
|
central service configurations, it will look for service configuration defaults
|
|
|
|
|
that match a registering service instance. If it finds any, the agent will merge
|
|
|
|
|
those defaults with the service instance configuration. This allows for things
|
|
|
|
|
like service protocol or proxy configuration to be defined globally and
|
|
|
|
|
inherited by any affected service registrations.
