Consul Integration
Hashicorp Consul allows you to discover and configure services in your environment. This integration provides a real-time status for both Cloud Managed and Open source (Self-managed) Consul nodes. This integration installs and configures Telegraf to send Consul server metrics into Wavefront. Telegraf is a light-weight server process capable of collecting, processing, aggregating, and sending metrics to a Wavefront proxy.
In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs a dashboard. Here’s a preview of some charts in the Consul dashboard.
