collective.zopeconsul 0.3

Configuration

zopeconsul can be configured by adding the following to your buildout:

[instance]
eggs = collective.zopeconsul

zope-conf-additional =
  <product-config zopeconsul>
    consul_url http://localhost:8500
    consul_prefix zope
    consul_key_somename somevalue
  </product-config>

Any configuration option can be overridden by an environment variable:

$ export CONSUL_URL=http://localhost:8500
$ export CONSUL_KEY_SOMENAME=somevalue

Configuration options

consul_url

Url of the consul server to connect to. Default: http://localhost:8500

consul_prefix

When setting key/values, this is the base key from which all values are set. Default: zope

consul_instancename

Gives a name to the instance. Instead of values being placed in <consul_prefix>, they are placed in <consul_prefix>/instances/<instance_name> on the consul server. Useful when there are multiple instances being orchestrated from consul. Default: unset

consul_key_[name]

Allows to set arbitrary key values with any name. Example: ``consul_key_somekey = somevalue``

consul_ignore

Skips setting consul key values. Useful if you have multiple instances that share the same code. You can set this value on specific instances and no key/values will be set in consul.

consul_ignorevhm

Skips individual VHM hosts from being set. This should match the first part of the vhm string (i.e. before /VirtualHostBase) e.g. CONSUL_IGNOREVHM=”test.localhost,test2.localhost” which will prevent either of the corresponding vhm values being set in consul.
