@ -16,8 +16,8 @@ One of the main goals of service discovery is to provide a catalog of available
services. To that end, the agent provides a simple service definition format
to declare the availability of a service and to potentially associate it with
a health check. A health check associated with a service is considered to be an
application-level check. A service is defined in a configuration file
or added at runtime over the HTTP interface.

Configure a service by providing the service definition to the agent. You can
either specify the configuration file using the `-config-file` option, or specify
the directory containing the service definition file with the `-config-dir` option.
Save the service definition as a `.json` or `.hcl` file. so that it can be loaded by Consul.
Consul can load service definitions saved as `.json` or `.hcl` files.
Send a `SIGHUP` to the running agent to check for new service definitions or to
update existing services. Alternatively, the service can be [registered dynamically](/api-docs/agent/service#register-service)

### Connect
The `kind` parameter determines role of the service.
For typical non-proxy instances, the `kind` field must be omitted.
Services can be configured to perform several roles.
The `kind` parameter determines the service's role. Services can be configured to perform several roles, but you must omit the `kind` parameter for typical non-proxy instances.
Refer to the [Configuration Entries](/docs/connect/config-entries) documentation for Consul Connect for information about other registration types.
In the service definition example described above, the `kind` property is set to `connect-proxy`, which registers the service as a proxy.
In the service definition example described above, the service is registered as a proxy because the `kind` property is set to `connect-proxy`.
The `proxy` parameter is also required for Connect proxy registrations and is only valid if `kind` is `connect-proxy`.
Refer to the [Proxy Service Registration](/docs/connect/registration/service-registration) documenatation for details about this type.
The only required `proxy` field for a `connect-proxy` is `destination_service_name`.
When the `kind` parameter is set to `connect-proxy`, the only required parameter for the `proxy` configuration is `destination_service_name`.
Refer to the [complete proxy configuration example](/docs/connect/registration/service-registration#complete-configuration-example) for additional information.
-> **Deprecation Notice:** From version 1.2.0 to 1.3.0, proxy destination was
specified using `proxy_destination` at the top level. This will continue to work
until at least 1.5.0 but it's highly recommended to switch to using
`proxy.destination_service_name`.
The `connect` field can be specified to configure [Connect](/docs/connect) for a service. This field is available in Consul 1.2.0 and later. The following parameters are available.
The `connect` field can be specified to configure
[Connect](/docs/connect) for a service. This field is available in
Consul 1.2.0 and later. The `native` value can be set to true to advertise the
service as [Connect-native](/docs/connect/native). The `sidecar_service`
field is an optional nested service definition its behavior and defaults are
described in [Sidecar Service
Registration](/docs/connect/registration/sidecar-service). If `native` is true,
it is an error to also specify a sidecar service registration.

-> **Deprecation Notice:** From version 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 during beta, Connect
supported "Managed" proxies which are specified with the `connect.proxy` field.
[Managed Proxies are deprecated](/docs/connect/proxies/managed-deprecated)
and the `connect.proxy` field will be removed in a future major release.
#### Deprecated parameters
Different Consul Connect parameters are supported for different Consul versions. The following table describes changes applicable to service discovery.
| Parameter | Description | Consul version | Status |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `proxy_destination` | Specified the proxy destination **in the root level** of the definition file. | 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 | Deprecated since 1.5.0. <br/> Use `proxy.destination_service_name` instead. |
| `connect.proxy` | Specified "managed" proxies, [which have been deprecated](/docs/connect/proxies/managed-deprecated). | 1.2.0 (beta) to 1.3.0 (beta) | Deprecated. |
