# Exported Services Configuration Entry
|
|
|
|
This topic describes the `exported-services` configuration entry type. The `exported-services` configuration entry enables Consul to export service instances to other clusters from a single file and connect services across clusters. For additional information, refer to [Cluster Peering](/docs/connect/cluster-peering) and [Admin Partitions](/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions).
|
|
|
|
-> **v1.11.0+:** This config entry is supported in Consul versions 1.11.0+.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
To configure Consul to export services contained in a Consul Enterprise admin partition or Consul OSS datacenter to one or more additional clusters, create a new configuration entry and declare `exported-services` in the `kind` field. This configuration entry enables you to route traffic between services in different clusters.
|
|
|
|
You can configure the settings defined in the `exported-services` configuration entry to apply to all namespaces in a Consul Enterprise admin partition.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- A 1.11.0+ Consul Enterprise binary or a 1.13.0+ Consul OSS binary.
|
|
- **Enterprise Only**: A corresponding partition that the configuration entry can export from. For example, the `exported-services` configuration entry for a partition named `frontend` requires an existing `frontend` partition.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Verify that your datacenter meets the conditions specified in the [Requirements](#requirements).
|
|
1. Specify the `exported-services` configuration in the agent configuration file (see [`config_entries`](/docs/agent/config/config-files#config_entries)) as described in [Configuration](#configuration).
|
|
1. Apply the configuration using one of the following methods:
|
|
- Kubernetes CRD: Refer to the [Custom Resource Definitions](/docs/k8s/crds) documentation for details.
|
|
- Issue the `consul config write` command: Refer to the [Consul Config Write](/commands/config/write) documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Configure the following parameters to define a `exported-services` configuration entry:

## Reading Services
|
|
|
|
When an exported service has been imported to another cluster, you can use the `health` REST API endpoint to query the service on the consumer cluster.

|
The following example queries the `finance` peer for the imported `payments` service:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ curl 'localhost:8500/v1/health/service/payments?peer=finance'
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
|
|
<Tab heading="Consul Enterprise">
|
|
|
|
The following example queries the `finance` partition for the imported `payments` service:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ curl 'localhost:8500/v1/health/service/payments?partition=finance'
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
An ACL token with `service:write` permissions is required for the cluster the query is made from. If the call in the previous example is made from a service named `web` in a partition named `frontend`, then the request requires a token with `write` permissions to `web` in the `frontend` partition.
|
|
|
|
Exports are available to all services in the consumer cluster. In the previous example, any service with `write` permissions for the `frontend` partition can read exports.
