# Consul Backend
## Consul Key-Value backend
Træfik can be configured to use Consul as a backend configuration:
```toml
################################################################
# Consul KV configuration backend
################################################################
# Enable Consul KV configuration backend
[consul]
# Consul server endpoint
#
# Required
#
endpoint = "127.0.0.1:8500"
# Enable watch Consul changes
#
# Optional
#
watch = true
# Prefix used for KV store.
#
# Optional
#
prefix = "traefik"
# Override default configuration template. For advanced users :)
#
# Optional
#
# filename = "consul.tmpl"
# Enable consul TLS connection
#
# Optional
#
# [consul.tls]
# ca = "/etc/ssl/ca.crt"
# cert = "/etc/ssl/consul.crt"
# key = "/etc/ssl/consul.key"
# insecureskipverify = true
```
Please refer to the [Key Value storage structure](/user-guide/kv-config/#key-value-storage-structure) section to get documentation on traefik KV structure.
## Consul catalog backend
Træfik can be configured to use service discovery catalog of Consul as a backend configuration:
```toml
################################################################
# Consul Catalog configuration backend
################################################################
# Enable Consul Catalog configuration backend
[consulCatalog]
# Consul server endpoint
#
# Required
#
endpoint = "127.0.0.1:8500"
# Default domain used.
#
# Optional
#
domain = "consul.localhost"
# Expose Consul catalog services by default in traefik
#
# Optional
#
exposedByDefault = false
# Prefix for Consul catalog tags
#
# Optional
#
prefix = "traefik"
# Default frontEnd Rule for Consul services
#
# The format is a Go Template with:
# - ".ServiceName", ".Domain" and ".Attributes" available
# - "getTag(name, tags, defaultValue)", "hasTag(name, tags)" and "getAttribute(name, tags, defaultValue)" functions are available
# - "getAttribute(...)" function uses prefixed tag names based on "prefix" value
#
# Optional
#
#frontEndRule = "Host:{{.ServiceName}}.{{Domain}}"
```
This backend will create routes matching on hostname based on the service name used in consul.
Additional settings can be defined using Consul Catalog tags:
