description: >-
The proxy-defaults config entry kind allows for configuring global config
defaults across all services for Connect proxy configuration. Currently, only
one global entry is supported.

# Proxy Defaults
-> **v1.8.4+:** On Kubernetes, the `ProxyDefaults` custom resource is supported in Consul versions 1.8.4+.<br />
**v1.5.0+:** On other platforms, this config entry is supported in Consul versions 1.5.0+.
The `proxy-defaults` config entry kind (`ProxyDefaults` on Kubernetes) allows for configuring global config
defaults across all services for Connect proxy configuration. Currently, only
one global entry is supported.
## Sample Config Entries
### Default protocol
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="HCL">
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies:
```hcl
Kind = "proxy-defaults"
Name = "global"
Config {
protocol = "http"
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="HCL (Consul Enterprise)">
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies.
**NOTE:** The `proxy-defaults` config entry can only be created in the `default`
namespace and it will configure proxies in **all** namespaces.
```hcl
Kind = "proxy-defaults"
Name = "global"
Namespace = "default" # Can only be set to "default".
Config {
protocol = "http"
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML">
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies:
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ProxyDefaults
metadata:
name: global
spec:
config:
protocol: http
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML (Consul Enterprise)">
Set the default protocol for all sidecar proxies:
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ProxyDefaults
metadata:
name: global
spec:
config:
protocol: http
```
</Tab>
</Tabs>
### Prometheus
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="HCL">
Expose prometheus metrics:
```hcl
Kind = "proxy-defaults"
Name = "global"
Config {
envoy_prometheus_bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:9102"
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML">
Expose prometheus metrics:
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ProxyDefaults
metadata:
name: global
spec:
config:
envoy_prometheus_bind_addr: '0.0.0.0:9102'
```
</Tab>
</Tabs>
### Proxy-specific defaults
<Tabs>
<Tab heading="HCL">
Set proxy-specific defaults:
```hcl
Kind = "proxy-defaults"
Name = "global"
Config {
local_connect_timeout_ms = 1000
handshake_timeout_ms = 10000
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab heading="Kubernetes YAML">
Set proxy-specific defaults:
```yaml
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
kind: ProxyDefaults
metadata:
name: global
spec:
config:
local_connect_timeout_ms: 1000
handshake_timeout_ms: 10000

Configuration entries may be protected by [ACLs](/docs/security/acl).
Reading a `proxy-defaults` config entry requires no specific privileges.
Creating, updating, or deleting a `proxy-defaults` config entry requires
`operator:write`.
