Configuring How to Reach the Services {: .subtitle }
The Services
are responsible for configuring how to reach the actual services that will eventually handle the incoming requests.

```
Configuring HTTP Services
Servers Load Balancer
The load balancers are able to load balance the requests between multiple instances of your programs.
Each service has a load-balancer, even if there is only one server to forward traffic to.
??? example "Declaring a Service with Two Servers (with Load Balancing) -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
http:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
- url: "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
[[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```
Servers
Servers declare a single instance of your program.
The url
option point to a specific instance.
!!! info ""
Paths in the servers' url
have no effect.
If you want the requests to be sent to a specific path on your servers,
configure your routers
to use a corresponding middleware (e.g. the AddPrefix or ReplacePath) middlewares.
??? example "A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
```
Load-balancing
For now, only round robin load balancing is supported:
??? example "Load Balancing -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- url: "http://private-ip-server-1/"
- url: "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://private-ip-server-1/"
[[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://private-ip-server-2/"
```
Sticky sessions
When sticky sessions are enabled, a Set-Cookie
header is set on the initial response to let the client know which server handles the first response.
On subsequent requests, to keep the session alive with the same server, the client should send the cookie with the value set.
!!! info "Stickiness on multiple levels"
When chaining or mixing load-balancers (e.g. a load-balancer of servers is one of the "children" of a load-balancer of services), for stickiness to work all the way, the option needs to be specified at all required levels. Which means the client needs to send a cookie with as many key/value pairs as there are sticky levels.
!!! info "Stickiness & Unhealthy Servers"
If the server specified in the cookie becomes unhealthy, the request will be forwarded to a new server (and the cookie will keep track of the new server).
!!! info "Cookie Name"
The default cookie name is an abbreviation of a sha1 (ex: `_1d52e`).
!!! info "Secure & HTTPOnly & SameSite flags"
By default, the affinity cookie is created without those flags.
One however can change that through configuration.
`SameSite` can be `none`, `lax`, `strict` or empty.
??? example "Adding Stickiness -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
sticky:
cookie: {}
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration

[http.services.my-service]
[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
```
??? example "Adding Stickiness with custom Options -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
sticky:
cookie:
name: my_sticky_cookie_name
secure: true
httpOnly: true
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
[http.services.my-service]
[http.services.my-service.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
name = "my_sticky_cookie_name"
secure = true
httpOnly = true
sameSite = "none"
```
??? example "Setting Stickiness on all the required levels -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:

sticky:
cookie:
name: lvl2
servers:
- url: http://127.0.0.1:8083
- url: http://127.0.0.1:8084
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[http.services]
[http.services.wrr1]
[http.services.wrr1.weighted.sticky.cookie]
name = "lvl1"
[[http.services.wrr1.weighted.services]]
name = "whoami1"
weight = 1
[[http.services.wrr1.weighted.services]]
name = "whoami2"
weight = 1
[http.services.whoami1]
[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer]
[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
name = "lvl2"
[[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8081"
[[http.services.whoami1.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8082"
[http.services.whoami2]
[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer]
[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.sticky.cookie]
name = "lvl2"
[[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8083"
[[http.services.whoami2.loadBalancer.servers]]
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8084"
```
To keep a session open with the same server, the client would then need to specify the two levels within the cookie for each request, e.g. with curl:
```
curl -b "lvl1=whoami1; lvl2=http://127.0.0.1:8081" http://localhost:8000
```
Health Check
Configure health check to remove unhealthy servers from the load balancing rotation.
Traefik will consider your servers healthy as long as they return status codes between 2XX
and 3XX
to the health check requests (carried out every interval
).
To propagate status changes (e.g. all servers of this service are down) upwards, HealthCheck must also be enabled on the parent(s) of this service.
Below are the available options for the health check mechanism:
path
is appended to the server URL to set the health check endpoint.scheme
, if defined, will replace the server URLscheme
for the health check endpointhostname
, if defined, will applyHost
headerhostname
to the health check request.port
, if defined, will replace the server URLport
for the health check endpoint.interval
defines the frequency of the health check calls.timeout
defines the maximum duration Traefik will wait for a health check request before considering the server failed (unhealthy).headers
defines custom headers to be sent to the health check endpoint.followRedirects
defines whether redirects should be followed during the health check calls (default: true).
!!! info "Interval & Timeout Format"
Interval and timeout are to be given in a format understood by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration).
The interval must be greater than the timeout. If configuration doesn't reflect this, the interval will be set to timeout + 1 second.
!!! info "Recovering Servers"
Traefik keeps monitoring the health of unhealthy servers.
If a server has recovered (returning `2xx` -> `3xx` responses again), it will be added back to the load balancer rotation pool.
!!! warning "Health check with Kubernetes"
Kubernetes has an health check mechanism to remove unhealthy pods from Kubernetes services (cf [readiness probe](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#define-readiness-probes)).
As unhealthy pods have no Kubernetes endpoints, Traefik will not forward traffic to them.
Therefore, Traefik health check is not available for `kubernetesCRD` and `kubernetesIngress` providers.

My-Header = "bar"
```
Pass Host Header
The passHostHeader
allows to forward client Host header to server.
By default, passHostHeader
is true.

ServersTransport
serversTransport
allows to reference a ServersTransport configuration for the communication between Traefik and your servers.
??? example "Specify a transport -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"

[http.services.Service01.loadBalancer]
serversTransport = "mytransport"
```
!!! info default serversTransport
If no serversTransport is specified, the default@internal
will be used.
The default@internal
serversTransport is created from the static configuration.
Response Forwarding
This section is about configuring how Traefik forwards the response from the backend server to the client.
Below are the available options for the Response Forwarding mechanism:
FlushInterval
specifies the interval in between flushes to the client while copying the response body. It is a duration in milliseconds, defaulting to 100. A negative value means to flush immediately after each write to the client. The FlushInterval is ignored when ReverseProxy recognizes a response as a streaming response; for such responses, writes are flushed to the client immediately.
??? example "Using a custom FlushInterval -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
http:
services:
Service-1:
loadBalancer:
responseForwarding:
flushInterval: 1s
```

Health Check
HealthCheck enables automatic self-healthcheck for this service, i.e. whenever one of its children is reported as down, this service becomes aware of it, and takes it into account (i.e. it ignores the down child) when running the load-balancing algorithm. In addition, if the parent of this service also has HealthCheck enabled, this service reports to its parent any status change.
!!! info "All or nothing"
If HealthCheck is enabled for a given service, but any of its descendants does
not have it enabled, the creation of the service will fail.
HealthCheck on Weighted services can be defined currently only with the [File](../../providers/file.md) provider.

If HealthCheck is enabled for a given service, but any of its descendants does
not have it enabled, the creation of the service will fail.
HealthCheck on Mirroring services can be defined currently only with the [File](../../providers/file.md) provider.

Failover (service)
A failover service job is to forward all requests to a fallback service when the main service becomes unreachable.
!!! info "Relation to HealthCheck"
The failover service relies on the HealthCheck system to get notified when its main service becomes unreachable,
which means HealthCheck needs to be enabled and functional on the main service.
However, HealthCheck does not need to be enabled on the failover service itself for it to be functional.
It is only required in order to propagate upwards the information when the failover itself becomes down
(i.e. both its main and its fallback are down too).
!!! info "Supported Providers"
This strategy can currently only be defined with the [File](../../providers/file.md) provider.

Configuring TCP Services
General
Each of the fields of the service section represents a kind of service.
Which means, that for each specified service, one of the fields, and only one,
has to be enabled to define what kind of service is created.
Currently, the two available kinds are LoadBalancer
, and Weighted
.
Servers Load Balancer
The servers load balancer is in charge of balancing the requests between the servers of the same service.
??? example "Declaring a Service with Two Servers -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
- address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
[[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```
Servers
Servers declare a single instance of your program.
The address
option (IP:Port) point to a specific instance.
??? example "A Service with One Server -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- address: "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.servers]]
address = "xx.xx.xx.xx:xx"
```
PROXY Protocol
Traefik supports PROXY Protocol version 1 and 2 on TCP Services.
It can be enabled by setting proxyProtocol
on the load balancer.
Below are the available options for the PROXY protocol:
version
specifies the version of the protocol to be used. Either1
or2
.
!!! info "Version"
Specifying a version is optional. By default the version 2 will be used.
??? example "A Service with Proxy Protocol v1 -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
proxyProtocol:
version: 1
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer.proxyProtocol]
version = 1
```
Termination Delay
As a proxy between a client and a server, it can happen that either side (e.g. client side) decides to terminate its writing capability on the connection (i.e. issuance of a FIN packet). The proxy needs to propagate that intent to the other side, and so when that happens, it also does the same on its connection with the other side (e.g. backend side).
However, if for some reason (bad implementation, or malicious intent) the other side does not eventually do the same as well, the connection would stay half-open, which would lock resources for however long.
To that end, as soon as the proxy enters this termination sequence, it sets a deadline on fully terminating the connections on both sides.
The termination delay controls that deadline. It is a duration in milliseconds, defaulting to 100. A negative value means an infinite deadline (i.e. the connection is never fully terminated by the proxy itself).
??? example "A Service with a termination delay -- Using the File Provider"
```yaml tab="YAML"
## Dynamic configuration
tcp:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
terminationDelay: 200
```
```toml tab="TOML"
## Dynamic configuration
[tcp.services]
[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]
[[tcp.services.my-service.loadBalancer]]
terminationDelay = 200
```
Weighted Round Robin
The Weighted Round Robin (alias WRR
) load-balancer of services is in charge of balancing the requests between multiple services based on provided weights.
This strategy is only available to load balance between services and not between servers.
!!! info "Supported Providers"
This strategy can be defined currently with the [File](../../providers/file.md) or [IngressRoute](../../providers/kubernetes-crd.md) providers.
## Dynamic configuration
