Also document the name of these config entries in the API docs, so that users know how to query for them. And fix the name of mesh on the index page.

# Configuration Entries
|
|
|
|
Configuration entries can be used to configure the behavior of Consul Connect.
|
|
|
|
The following configuration entries are supported:
|
|
|
|
- [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/config-entries/ingress-gateway) - defines the
|
|
configuration for an ingress gateway
|
|
|
|
- [Mesh](/docs/connect/config-entries/mesh) <sup>Beta</sup> - controls
|
|
mesh-wide configuration that applies across namespaces and federated datacenters.
|
|
|
|
- [Proxy Defaults](/docs/connect/config-entries/proxy-defaults) - controls
|
|
proxy configuration
|
|
|
|
- [Service Defaults](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults) - configures
|
|
defaults for all the instances of a given service
|
|
|
|
- [Service Intentions](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) - defines
|
|
the [intentions](/docs/connect/intentions) for a destination service
|
|
|
|
- [Service Resolver](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver) - matches
|
|
service instances with a specific Connect upstream discovery requests
|
|
|
|
- [Service Router](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-router) - defines
|
|
where to send layer 7 traffic based on the HTTP route
|
|
|
|
- [Service Splitter](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-splitter) - defines
|
|
how to divide requests for a single HTTP route based on percentages
|
|
|
|
- [Terminating Gateway](/docs/connect/config-entries/terminating-gateway) - defines the
|
|
services associated with terminating gateway
|

## Managing Configuration Entries
|
|
|
|
See [Agent - Config Entries](/docs/agent/config-entries).
|
|
|
|
## Using Configuration Entries For Service Defaults
|
|
|
|
Outside of Kubernetes, when the agent is
|
|
[configured](/docs/agent/options#enable_central_service_config) to enable
|
|
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.
