Question: What format to be used for targets added in consul

[viinay]

Hi, I am using loader type consul to load the targets. I am not sure what format I have to use. Here is my gnmic config file

username: user
password: passowrd
port: 50051
timeout: 35s
insecure: true
encoding: PROTO
log-file: ./gnmic.log

subscriptions:
  negotiated-speed:
    paths:
      - "/interfaces/interface/ethernet/state/negotiated-port-speed"
    mode: STREAM
    stream-mode: target-defined
    sample-interval: 10s
    outputs:
      - output0

outputs:
  output0:
    type: file
    file-type: stdout
    format: event

api-server:
  address: :7890
  timeout: 10s
  client-auth: ""
  enable-metrics: true
  debug: false

loader:
  type: consul
  address: 127.0.0.1:55001
  datacenter: dc1
  username:
  password:
  token:
  key-prefix: gnmic/config/targets
  enable-metrics: false
  services:
    - name: cluster1-gnmi-server
      tags:
      config:
  on-add:
  on-delete:
  vars:
  vars-file:

clustering:
  cluster-name: default-cluster
  instance-name: "new-instance-1"
  service-address: ""
  services-watch-timer: 60s
  targets-watch-timer: 20s
  target-assignment-timeout: 10s
  leader-wait-timer: 5s
  tags: []
  locker:
    type: consul
    address: localhost:55001
    datacenter:
    username:
    password:
    token:
    session-ttl: 10s
    delay: 5s
    retry-timer: 2s
    renew-period: 5s
    debug: false

I have created gnmic/config/targets folder in consul KV store added following content

10.4.0.5:
    address: 10.4.0.5
    timeout: 10s
    subscriptions:
      - negotiated-speed
    
10.4.0.2:
    address: 10.4.0.2
    timeout: 10s
    subscriptions:
      - negotiated-speed

Thank you

Consul discovery does not work that way. The config assigned to a target goes in the config file not in Consul.

You register your targets as instances of a Service in Consul. Then you set the config you want applied to each group (a Consul Service) under loader.services[].config. There is an example in this issue
