# Service Defaults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `service-defaults` config entry kind controls default global values for a
|
|
|
|
|
service, such as its protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Sample Config Entries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the default protocol for a service to HTTP:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
|
|
|
Kind = "service-defaults"
|
|
|
|
|
Name = "web"
|
|
|
|
|
Protocol = "http"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
