Consul
Since Camel 2.18
Both producer and consumer are supported
The Consul component is a component for integrating your application with Hashicorp Consul.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-consul</artifactId>
<version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>URI format
consul://domain?[options]You can append query options to the URI in the following format:
?option=value&option=value&...
Options
The Consul component supports 29 options, which are listed below.
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
connectTimeout (common) |
Connect timeout for OkHttpClient |
Duration |
|

|
consulClient (common) |
Reference to a com.orbitz.consul.Consul in the registry. |
Consul |
|
key (common) |
The default key. Can be overridden by CamelConsulKey |
String |
|
pingInstance (common) |
Configure if the AgentClient should attempt a ping before returning the Consul instance |
true |
boolean |
readTimeout (common) |
Read timeout for OkHttpClient |
Duration |
|
readTimeoutMillis (common) |
Deprecated Read timeout for OkHttpClient. Deprecation note: Use readTimeout instead. Deprecation note: Use readTimeout instead |

|
tags (common) |
Set tags. You can separate multiple tags by comma. |
String |
|
url (common) |

|
bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) |
Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |
false |
boolean |
action (producer) |
The default action. Can be overridden by CamelConsulAction |
String |
|
lazyStartProducer (producer) |
Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. |
false |
boolean |
valueAsString (producer) |
Default to transform values retrieved from Consul i.e. on KV endpoint to string. |
false |
boolean |
autowiredEnabled (advanced) |
Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. |
true |
boolean |
configuration (advanced) |
