# Service Router <sup>(beta)</sup>
The `service-router` config entry kind controls Connect traffic routing and
manipulation at networking layer 7 (e.g. HTTP).
If a router is not explicitly configured or is configured with no routes then
the system behaves as if a router were configured sending all traffic to a
service of the same name.
## Interaction with other Config Entries
- Service router config entries are a component of [L7 Traffic
Management](/docs/connect/l7-traffic-management.html).
- Service router config entries are restricted to only services that define
their protocol as http-based via a corresponding
[`service-defaults`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-defaults.html) config
entry or globally via
[`proxy-defaults`](/docs/agent/config-entries/proxy-defaults.html) .
- Any route destination that omits the `ServiceSubset` field is eligible for
splitting via a
[`service-splitter`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-splitter.html) should
one be configured for that service, otherwise resolution proceeds according
to any configured
[`service-resolver`](/docs/agent/config-entries/service-resolver.html).
## Sample Config Entries
Route HTTP requests with a path starting with `/admin` to a different service:
```hcl
kind = "service-router"
name = "web"
routes = [
{
match {
http {
path_prefix = "/admin"
}
}
destination {
service = "admin"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
Route HTTP requests with a special url parameter or header to a canary subset:
```hcl
kind = "service-router"
name = "web"
routes = [
{
match {
http {
header = [
{
name = "x-debug"
exact = "1"
},
]
}
}
destination {
service = "web"
service_subset = "canary"
}
},
{
match {
http {
query_param = [
{
name = "x-debug"
value = "1"
},
]
}
}
destination {
service = "web"
service_subset = "canary"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
## Available Fields
- `Kind` - Must be set to `service-router`
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Set to the name of the service being configured.
- `Routes` `(array<ServiceRoute>)` - The list of routes to consider when
processing L7 requests. The first route to match in the list is terminal and
stops further evaluation. Traffic that fails to match any of the provided
routes will be routed to the default service.
- `Match` `(ServiceRouteMatch: <optional>)` - A set of criteria that can
match incoming L7 requests. If empty or omitted it acts as a catch-all.
- `HTTP` `(ServiceRouteHTTPMatch: <optional>)` - A set of http-specific match criteria.
- `PathExact` `(string: "")` - Exact path to match on the HTTP request path.
At most only one of `PathExact`, `PathPrefix`, or `PathRegex` may be configured.
- `PathPrefix` `(string: "")` - Path prefix to match on the HTTP request path.
At most only one of `PathExact`, `PathPrefix`, or `PathRegex` may be configured.
- `PathRegex` `(string: "")` - Regular expression to match on the HTTP
request path.
The syntax when using the Envoy proxy is [documented here](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript).
At most only one of `PathExact`, `PathPrefix`, or `PathRegex` may be configured.
- `Header` `(array<ServiceRouteHTTPMatchHeader>)` - A set of criteria
that can match on HTTP request headers. If more than one is configured
all must match for the overall match to apply.
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - Name of the header to match on.
- `Present` `(bool: false)` - Match if the header with the given name
is present with any value.
At most only one of `Exact`, `Prefix`, `Suffix`, `Regex`, or
`Present` may be configured.
- `Exact` `(string: "")` - Match if the header with the given name is
this value.
At most only one of `Exact`, `Prefix`, `Suffix`, `Regex`, or
`Present` may be configured.
- `Prefix` `(string: "")` - Match if the header with the given name has
this prefix.
At most only one of `Exact`, `Prefix`, `Suffix`, `Regex`, or
`Present` may be configured.
- `Suffix` `(string: "")` - Match if the header with the given name has
this suffix.
At most only one of `Exact`, `Prefix`, `Suffix`, `Regex`, or
`Present` may be configured.
- `Regex` `(string: "")` - Match if the header with the given name
matches this pattern.
The syntax when using the Envoy proxy is [documented here](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript).
At most only one of `Exact`, `Prefix`, `Suffix`, `Regex`, or
`Present` may be configured.
- `Invert` `(bool: false)` - Inverts the logic of the match.
- `QueryParam` `(array<ServiceRouteHTTPMatchQueryParam>)` - A set of
criteria that can match on HTTP query parameters. If more than one is
configured all must match for the overall match to apply.
- `Name` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the query parameter to
match on.
- `Value` `(string: <required>)` - String to match against the query
parameter value. The behavior changes with the definition of the
`Regex` field.
- `Regex` `(bool: false)` - Controls how the `Value` field is used. If
`Regex` is `false` then `Value` matches exactly. If `Regex` is
`true` then `Value` matches as a regular expression pattern.
The syntax when using the Envoy proxy is [documented
here](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript).
- `Destination` `(ServiceRouteDestination: <optional>)` - Controls how to
proxy the actual matching request to a service.
- `Service` `(string: "")` - The service to resolve instead of the default
service. If empty then the default service name is used.
- `ServiceSubset` `(string: "")` - A named subset of the given service to
resolve instead of one defined as that service's `DefaultSubset`. If
empty the default subset is used.
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` - The namespace to resolve the service from
instead of the current namespace. If empty the current namespace is
assumed.
- `PrefixRewrite` `(string: "")` - Defines how to rewrite the http request
path before proxying it to its final destination.
This requires that either `Match.HTTP.PathPrefix` or
`Match.HTTP.PathExact` be configured on this route.
- `RequestTimeout` `(duration: 0s)` - The total amount of time permitted
for the entire downstream request (and retries) to be processed.
- `NumRetries` `(int: 0)` - The number of times to retry the request when a
retryable result occurs.
- `RetryOnConnectFailure` `(bool: false)` - Allows for connection failure
errors to trigger a retry.
- `RetryOnStatusCodes` `(array<int>)` - A flat list of http response status
codes that are eligible for retry.
## ACLs
Configuration entries may be protected by
[ACLs](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/production-acls).
Reading a `service-router` config entry requires `service:read` on itself.
Creating, updating, or deleting a `service-router` config entry requires
`service:write` on itself and `service:read` on any other service referenced by
name in these fields:
- [`Routes[].Destination.Service`](#service)
