# Configuration Entry Overview
|
||
|
||
Configuration entries can be used to configure the behavior of Consul Connect.
|
||
|
||
The following configuration entries are supported:
|
||
|
||
- [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/config-entries/ingress-gateway) - defines the
|
||
configuration for an ingress gateway
|
||
|
||
- [Mesh](/docs/connect/config-entries/mesh) - controls
|
||
mesh-wide configuration that applies across namespaces and federated datacenters.
|
||
|
||
- [Exported Services](/docs/connect/config-entries/exported-services) <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - enables
|
||
Consul to export service instances to other admin partitions.
|
||
|
||
- [Proxy Defaults](/docs/connect/config-entries/proxy-defaults) - controls
|
||
proxy configuration
|
||
|
||
- [Service Defaults](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults) - configures
|
||
defaults for all the instances of a given service
|
||
|
||
- [Service Intentions](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) - defines
|
||
the [intentions](/docs/connect/intentions) for a destination service
|
||
|
||
- [Service Resolver](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver) - matches
|
||
service instances with a specific Connect upstream discovery requests
|
||
|
||
- [Service Router](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-router) - defines
|
||
where to send layer 7 traffic based on the HTTP route
|
||
|
||
- [Service Splitter](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-splitter) - defines
|
||
how to divide requests for a single HTTP route based on percentages
|
||
|
||
- [Terminating Gateway](/docs/connect/config-entries/terminating-gateway) - defines the
|
||
services associated with terminating gateway
|
||
|
||
## Managing Configuration Entries
|
||
|
||
See [Agent - Config Entries](/docs/agent/config-entries).
|
||
|
||
## Using Configuration Entries For Service Defaults
|
||
|
||
Outside of Kubernetes, when the agent is
|
||
[configured](/docs/agent/config/config-files#enable_central_service_config) to enable
|
||
central service configurations, it will look for service configuration defaults
|
||
that match a registering service instance. If it finds any, the agent will merge
|
||
those defaults with the service instance configuration. This allows for things
|
||
like service protocol or proxy configuration to be defined globally and
|
||
inherited by any affected service registrations.
