Consul

Since Camel 2.18

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Consul component is a component for integrating your application with Hashicorp Consul.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-consul</artifactId>
        <version>${camel-version}</version>
    </dependency>

URI format

    consul://domain?[options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format:

    ?option=value&option=value&...

Options

The Consul component supports 29 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

connectTimeout (common)

Connect timeout for OkHttpClient

Duration

connectTimeoutMillis (common)

Deprecated Connect timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use connectTimeout instead. Deprecation note: Use connectTimeout instead

Long

consulClient (common)

Reference to a com.orbitz.consul.Consul in the registry.

Consul

key (common)

The default key. Can be overridden by CamelConsulKey

String

pingInstance (common)

Configure if the AgentClient should attempt a ping before returning the Consul instance

true

boolean

readTimeout (common)

Read timeout for OkHttpClient

Duration

readTimeoutMillis (common)

Deprecated Read timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use readTimeout instead. Deprecation note: Use readTimeout instead

Long

tags (common)

Set tags. You can separate multiple tags by comma.

String

url (common)

The Consul agent URL

String

writeTimeout (common)

Write timeout for OkHttpClient

Duration

writeTimeoutMillis (common)

Deprecated Write timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use writeTimeout instead. Deprecation note: Use writeTimeout instead

Long

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

action (producer)

The default action. Can be overridden by CamelConsulAction

String

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using consul with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-consul-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
