# Consul Config Write
Command: `consul config write`
Corresponding HTTP API Endpoint: [\[PUT\] /v1/config](/api-docs/config#apply-configuration)
The `config write` command creates or updates a centralized config entry.
See the [configuration entries docs](/docs/agent/config-entries) for more
details about configuration entries.
The table below shows this command's [required ACLs](/api#authentication). Configuration of
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking) and [agent caching](/api/features/caching)
are not supported from commands, but may be from the corresponding HTTP endpoint.
| ACL Required<sup>1</sup> |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `service:write`<br />`operator:write`<br />`intentions:write` |
<p>
<sup>1</sup> The actual ACL required depends on the config entry kind being
updated:
</p>
| Config Entry Kind | Required ACL |
| ------------------- | ------------------ |
| ingress-gateway | `operator:write` |
| proxy-defaults | `operator:write` |
| service-defaults | `service:write` |
| service-intentions | `intentions:write` |
| service-resolver | `service:write` |
| service-router | `service:write` |
| service-splitter | `service:write` |
| terminating-gateway | `operator:write` |
## Usage
Usage: `consul config write [options] FILE`
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
#### Enterprise Options
@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
@include 'http_api_partition_options.mdx'
#### Config Write Options
- `-cas` - Specifies to use a Check-And-Set operation. If the index is
0, Consul will only store the entry if it does not already exist. If the index is
non-zero, the entry is only set if the current index matches the `ModifyIndex`
of that entry.
## Examples
From file:
$ consul config write web-defaults.json
From stdin:
$ consul config write -
### Config Entry examples
All config entries must have a `Kind` when registered. See
[Service Mesh - Config Entries](/docs/connect/config-entries) for the list of
supported config entries.
#### Service defaults
Service defaults control default global values for a service, such as the
protocol and Connect fields.
```json
{
"Kind": "service-defaults",
"Name": "web",
"Protocol": "http"
}
```
- `Name` - Sets the name of the config entry. For service defaults, this must be
the name of the service being configured.
- `Protocol` - Sets the protocol of the service. This is used by Connect proxies
for things like observability features.
- `Connect` - This block contains Connect-related fields for the service.
- `SidecarProxy` - Sets whether or not instances of this service should get a
sidecar proxy by default.
#### Proxy defaults
Proxy defaults allow for configuring global config defaults across all services
for Connect proxy config. Currently, only one global entry is supported.
```json
{
"Kind": "proxy-defaults",
"Name": "global",
"Config": {
"foo": 1
}
}
```
- `Name` - Sets the name of the config entry. Currently, only a single `proxy-defaults`
entry with the name `global` is supported.
* `Config` - An arbitrary map of configuration values used by Connect proxies.
