how to sync services between cluster nodes

[Tom]

I think I'm misunderstanding how cluster sync is supposed to work. 

I'm building a 3-node cluster using "consul agent" with the following config:

{

  "datacenter": "dc1",

  "data_dir": "/usr/lib/consul",

  "log_level": "INFO",

  "node_name": "<hostname>",

  "server": true,

  "bootstrap_expect": 3,

  "retry_join": ["<server1, server2, server3"],

  "client_addr": "<local ip>",

  "bind_addr": "<local ip>",

  "ui": true,

  "enable_syslog": true

}

This mostly seems to work as I expect, but when I register a service with one node it doesn't replicate to the other nodes. Is that by design?

What kind of service, and how are you registering it? If it's external to the node itself, you need to use the catalog API, see https://www.consul.io/docs/guides/external.html.

Aha! I believe that answers my question. Thanks much!
