Service World - Simply Discover Nodes and Services in Consul

Linux & OS X Build Status MIT licensed

service-world is a Rust and Tokio based library to query Hashicorp's Consul for nodes and services. The intention is to offer a command line tool as well as a simple webserver to discover the available nodes and services. It contains two binaries sw-discover and sw-present. sw-discover is a CLI client to display all services and nodes but also to filter by services and tags. Output can be either colored plain text or json for post-processing. sw-present is intended to generate an HTML web page which can also be served using an internal web server. The HTML is generated using the Handlebars templating language provided through handlebars-rust.

Configuration

There is a self-explanatory example configuration file in the examples subdirectory. A minimalistic example configuration showing the mandatory configuration parameters is bundled in the Debian Package distribution subdirectory. This subdirectory also includes two examples for the necessary web page templates.

There are basically three sections. A general section describing where to find consul, a start page section specifying links for the start page, and a service section. The service section may specify link templates for each search that is used to generate links for each service in the service overview. In this way, you can enrich the service view with direct URLs for each service. For examples, HAProxy services can link to their monitor web page and Elastic Search services may link to their installed management plugins etc.

Examples

  • sw-present start page sw-present start page

  • sw-present showing service catalog and service links sw-present showing service catalog and service links

  • sw-present showing service navigation sw-present navigation
