Consul Section

install consul and at the services.json, put the file into /etc/consul.d/services.json and you can run consule command like this:

$ consul agent -dev -config-dir=/etc/consul.d

By example, this is working on localhost, check you're consul ns is working correctly:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 8600 go-svc-1.service.consul
$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 8600 go-svc-1.service.consul SRV

; <<>> DiG 9.9.7-P3 <<>> @127.0.0.1 -p 8600 go-svc-1.service.consul SRV

and check you're file at /etc/resolv.conf, register nameserver localhost like this:

$ nameserver 127.0.0.1

and you must set on kong.conf at line dns_resolver like this:

$ dns_resolver: 127.0.0.1:8600 // consul host & port 

and register the name of consul ns as upstream_url on kong api like this :

$ curl -i -X POST \
    --url http://localhost:8001/apis/ \
    --data 'name=your-api' \
    --data 'hosts=your-api.com' \
    --data 'upstream_url=http://go-svc-1.service.consul'

Testing Kong api and Consul Service Discovery Working Great Together:

$ curl -i -X GET \
    --url http://localhost:8000/ \
    --header 'Host: your-api.com'
