Consul Enterprise uses Sentinel to augment the built-in ACL system to provide advanced policy enforcement. Sentinel policies can currently execute on KV modify and service registration.

# Sentinel Overview

|
|
|
Consul 1.0 adds integration with [Sentinel](https://hashicorp.com/sentinel) for policy enforcement.
|
|
Sentinel policies help extend the ACL system in Consul beyond the static "read", "write", and "deny"
|
|
policies to support full conditional logic, and integration with external systems.
|
|
|
|
## Sentinel in Consul
|
|
|
|
Sentinel policies are applied during writes to the KV Store.
|
|
|
|
ACL policy definitions take a `sentinel` field specifying the code and the enforcement level.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
sentinel {
|
|
code = "import \"strings\"
|
|
rule { strings.has_suffix(value,\"foo\") }"
|
|
enforcementlevel = "soft-mandatory"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This policy ensures that the value written during a KV update must end with "foo".
|
|
|
|
If the `enforcementlevel` property is not set, it defaults to "hard-mandatory".
|
|
|
|
## Imports
|
|
|
|
Consul imports all the [standard imports](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/imports/)
|
|
from Sentinel. All functions in these imports are available to be used in policies.
|
|
|
|
## Injected Variables
|
|
|
|
Consul passes some context as variables into Sentinel, which are available to use inside any policies you write.
|
|
|
|
#### Variables injected during KV store writes
|
|
|
|
| Variable Name | Type | Description |
|
|
| ------------- | -------- | ----------- |
|
|
| `key` | `string` | Key being written |
|
|
| `value` | `string` | Value being written |
|
|
| `flags` | `uint64` | [Flags](/api/kv.html#flags) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
The following are some examples of ACL policies with Sentinel rules.
|
|
|
|
### Any values stored under the key prefix "foo" must end with "bar"
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
key "foo" {
|
|
policy = "write"
|
|
sentinel {
|
|
import "strings"
|
|
main = rule { strings.has_suffix(value, \"foo\") }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### The key "foo" can only be updated during business hours.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
key "foo" {
|
|
policy = "write"
|
|
sentinel {
|
|
import "time"
|
|
main = rule { time.hour > 8 and time.hour < 17 }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
