# Service Router
The `service-router` config entry kind (`ServiceRouter` on Kubernetes) 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.
## Requirements
- Consul [service mesh connect](/docs/connect/configuration) enabled services
- Service to service communication over the protocol `http`
- Consul 1.8.4+ on Kubernetes.
- Consul 1.5.0+ on other platforms.
-> **v1.8.4+:** On Kubernetes, the `ServiceRouter` 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+.
## Interaction with other Config Entries
- Service router config entries are a component of [L7 Traffic
Management](/docs/connect/l7-traffic).
- Service router 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 route destination that omits the `ServiceSubset` field is eligible for
splitting via a
[`service-splitter`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-splitter) should
one be configured for that service, otherwise resolution proceeds according
to any configured
[`service-resolver`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver).
## UI
Once a `service-router` 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
### Path prefix matching
Route HTTP requests with a path starting with `/admin` to a different service:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-router"
Name = "web"
Routes = [
{
Match {
HTTP {
PathPrefix = "/admin"
}
}
Destination {
Service = "admin"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceRouter
metadata:
name: web
spec:
routes:
- match:
http:
pathPrefix: /admin
destination:
service: admin
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-router",
"Name": "web",
"Routes": [
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"PathPrefix": "/admin"
}
},
"Destination": {
"Service": "admin"
}
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
### Header/query parameter matching
Route HTTP requests with a special URL parameter or header to a canary subset:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-router"
Name = "web"
Routes = [
{
Match {
HTTP {
Header = [
{
Name = "x-debug"
Exact = "1"
},
]
}
}
Destination {
Service = "web"
ServiceSubset = "canary"
}
},
{
Match {
HTTP {
QueryParam = [
{
Name = "x-debug"
Exact = "1"
},
]
}
}
Destination {
Service = "web"
ServiceSubset = "canary"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceRouter
metadata:
name: web
spec:
routes:
- match:
http:
header:
- name: x-debug
exact: '1'
destination:
service: web
serviceSubset: canary
- match:
http:
queryParam:
- name: x-debug
exact: '1'
destination:
service: web
serviceSubset: canary
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "web"
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-router",
"Name": "web",
"Routes": [
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"Header": [
{
"Name": "x-debug",
"Exact": "1"
}
]
}
},
"Destination": {
"Service": "web",
"ServiceSubset": "canary"
}
},
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"QueryParam": [
{
"Name": "x-debug",
"Exact": "1"
}
]
}
},
"Destination": {
"Service": "web",
"ServiceSubset": "canary"
}
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
### gRPC routing
Re-route a gRPC method to another service. Since gRPC method calls [are
HTTP/2](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md), we can use an HTTP path match rule to re-route traffic:
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-router"
Name = "billing"
Routes = [
{
Match {
HTTP {
PathExact = "/mycompany.BillingService/GenerateInvoice"
}
}
Destination {
Service = "invoice-generator"
}
},
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "billing"
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceRouter
metadata:
name: billing
spec:
routes:
- match:
http:
pathExact: /mycompany.BillingService/GenerateInvoice
destination:
service: invoice-generator
# NOTE: a default catch-all will send unmatched traffic to "billing"
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-router",
"Name": "billing",
"Routes": [
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"PathExact": "/mycompany.BillingService/GenerateInvoice"
}
},
"Destination": {
"Service": "invoice-generator"
}
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
### Retry logic
Enable retry logic by delagating this resposbility to Consul and the proxy. Review the [`ServiceRouteDestination`](#serviceroutedestination) block for more details.
<CodeTabs tabs={[ "HCL", "Kubernetes YAML", "JSON" ]}>
```hcl
Kind = "service-router"
Name = "orders"
Routes = [
{
Match{
HTTP {
PathPrefix = "/coffees"
}
}
Destination {
Service = "products"
RequestTimeout = "10s"
NumRetries = 3
RetryOnConnectFailure = true
}
},
{
Match{
HTTP {
PathPrefix = "/orders"
}
}
Destination {
Service = "procurement"
RequestTimeout = "10s"
NumRetries = 3
RetryOnConnectFailure = true
}
}
]
```
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ServiceRouter
metadata:
name: orders
spec:
routes:
- match:
http:
pathExact: /coffees
destination:
service: products
requestTimeout: 10s
numRetries: 3
retryOnConnectFailure: true
- match:
http:
pathExact: /orders
destination:
service: procurement
requestTimeout: 10s
numRetries: 3
retryOnConnectFailure: true
```
```json
{
"Kind": "service-router",
"Name": "orders",
"Routes": [
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"PathPrefix": "/coffees"
}
},
"Destination": {
"NumRetries": 3,
"RequestTimeout": "10s",
"RetryOnConnectFailure": true,
"Service": "procurement"
}
},
{
"Match": {
"HTTP": {
"PathPrefix": "/orders"
}
},
"Destination": {
"NumRetries": 3,
"RequestTimeout": "10s",
"RetryOnConnectFailure": true,
"Service": "procurement"
}
}
]
}
```

## ACLs
Configuration entries may be protected by [ACLs](/docs/security/acl).
Reading a `service-router` config entry requires `service:read` on the resource.
Creating, updating, or deleting a `service-router` config entry requires
`service:write` on the resource and `service:read` on any other service referenced by
name in these fields:
- [`Routes[].Destination.Service`](#service)
## Regular Expression Syntax
The actual syntax of the regular expression fields described here is entirely
proxy-specific.
When using [Envoy](/docs/connect/proxies/envoy) as a proxy (the only supported proxy in Kubernetes),
the syntax for these fields is version specific:
| Envoy Version | Syntax |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1.11.2 or newer | [documentation](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) |
| 1.11.1 or older | [documentation](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/regex/ecmascript) |
