# `connect` Stanza
<Placement groups={['job', 'group', 'service', 'connect']} />
The `connect` stanza allows configuring various options for
[Consul Connect](/docs/integrations/consul-connect). It is
valid only within the context of a service definition at the task group
level. For using `connect` when Consul ACLs are enabled, be sure to read through
the [Secure Nomad Jobs with Consul Connect](https://learn.hashicorp.com/nomad/consul-integration/nomad-connect-acl)
guide.
```hcl
job "countdash" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
group "api" {
network {
mode = "bridge"
}
service {
name = "count-api"
port = "9001"
connect {
sidecar_service {}
}
}
task "web" {
driver = "docker"
config {
image = "hashicorpnomad/counter-api:v2"
}
}
}
}
```
## `connect` Parameters
- `native` - `(bool: false)` - This is used to configure the service as supporting
[Connect Native](https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/native) applications. If set,
the service definition must provide the name of the implementing task in the
[task][service_task] field.
Incompatible with `sidecar_service` and `sidecar_task`.
- `sidecar_service` - <code>([sidecar_service][]: nil)</code> - This is used to configure the sidecar
service injected by Nomad for Consul Connect. Incompatible with `native`.
- `sidecar_task` - <code>([sidecar_task][]:nil)</code> - This modifies the configuration of the Envoy
proxy task. Incompatible with `native`.
## `connect` Examples
### Using Sidecar Service
The following example is a minimal connect stanza with defaults and is
sufficient to start an Envoy proxy sidecar for allowing incoming connections
via Consul Connect.
```hcl
connect {
sidecar_service {}
}
```
The following example includes specifying [`upstreams`][upstreams].
```hcl
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "count-api"
local_bind_port = 8080
}
}
}
}
```
The following is the complete `countdash` example. It includes an API service
and a frontend Dashboard service which connects to the API service as a Connect
upstream. Once running, the dashboard is accessible at `localhost:9002`.
```hcl
job "countdash" {
datacenters = ["dc1"]
group "api" {
network {
mode = "bridge"
}
service {
name = "count-api"
port = "9001"
connect {
sidecar_service {}
}
check {
expose = true
type = "http"
name = "api-health"
path = "/health"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "3s"
}
}
task "web" {
driver = "docker"
config {
image = "hashicorpnomad/counter-api:v2"
}
}
}
group "dashboard" {
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "http" {
static = 9002
to = 9002
}
}
service {
name = "count-dashboard"
port = "9002"
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "count-api"
local_bind_port = 8080
}
}
}
}
}
task "dashboard" {
driver = "docker"
env {
COUNTING_SERVICE_URL = "http://${NOMAD_UPSTREAM_ADDR_count_api}"
}
config {
image = "hashicorpnomad/counter-dashboard:v2"
}
}
}
}
```
### Using Connect Native
The following example is a minimal service stanza for a
[Consul Connect Native](https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/native)
application implemented by a task named `generate`.
```hcl
service {
name = "uuid-api"
port = "${NOMAD_PORT_api}"
task = "generate"
connect {
native = true
}
}
```
### Limitations
[Nomad variable interpolation][interpolation] is _not_ yet supported ([gh-7221]).
