# Configuration Reference
This pages details the configuration options for the JSON config format used
by the `consul-ecs` binary. This configuration is passed to the `consul-ecs`
binary as a string using the `CONSUL_ECS_CONFIG_JSON` environment variable.
This configuration format follows a [JSON schema](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-ecs/blob/main/config/schema.json)
that can be used for validation.
## Terraform Mesh Task Module Configuration
The `mesh-task` Terraform module provides input variables for commonly used fields.
The following table shows which Terraform input variables correspond to each field
of the Consul ECS configuration. Refer to the
[Terraform registry documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/modules/hashicorp/consul-ecs/aws/latest/submodules/mesh-task?tab=inputs)
for a complete reference of supported input variables for the `mesh-task` module.
| Terraform Input Variable | Consul ECS Config Field |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| `upstreams` | [`proxy.upstreams`](#proxy-upstreams) |
| `checks` | [`service.checks`](#service-checks) |
| `consul_service_name` | [`service.name`](#service) |
| `consul_service_tags` | [`service.tags`](#service) |
| `consul_service_meta` | [`service.meta`](#service) |
| `consul_namespace` | [`service.namespace`](#service) |
| `consul_partition` | [`service.partition`](#service) |
Each of these Terraform input variables follow the Consul ECS config schema.
The remaining fields of the Consul ECS configuration not listed in this table can be passed
using the `consul_ecs_config` input variable.
