Fabio - Manual overrides

[satishviswanathan]

How do we enable Manual overrides in Web UI?

Can someone share the steps for enabling this feature.

You can put configuration for manual overrides in the web ui (https://fabiolb.net/feature/web-ui/).
See e.g. https://fabiolb.net/cfg/#route-add for how to add a route.

My apologies if my questions are very basic.

Currently I'm using consul for service discovery and the routing table is populated with all the registered services in consul. What I'm trying to achieve is overrides and changes the weight for the routes.

I've been trying to access the link "Overrides" on the right hand side top corner, but nothing seems to be working. Please advice.

You should click on 'Overrides' and see a dropdown like ...

Once you click on 'default' there you should be taken to the manual routes section ...

In this case I have exactly one manual route entered. That route is contained within the consul kv store and in my case is located at /lb/fabio/config per the registry.consul.kvpath setting. The default is /fabio/config.

If I look at that key in consul I see the same content as the screenshot above ...

I hope that helps.

Thank you sharing the steps.

But when I click on the Overrides I don't see any drop down with the options like you have shown in your screen shot. Am i missing any configuration to enable this feature.

The ui.access settings needs to be rw which is the default.

Thank you that worked !
