Configuring consul client nodes

[benschw]

Can you point me in the right direction for configuring a consul client node? I'd like to add a consul agent and configure it to register a service and track its health.

Thanks!

Have you read the docs?
http://www.consul.io/intro/getting-started/install.html

Please try to read them and follow the directions. You you believe the documentation on the puppet module is lacking, please make a PR with suggestions on how it can be better.

Sorry, I guess I had been thinking about this so much i made some assumptions that didn't make it into the ticket.

Is there a way to generate the service configuration with your puppet module or is the best way to do this to create the json config separately and land it on the box?

In either case, if you could point me in the right direction, I would be happy to make a PR with an example/explanation for the readme.

Yes, please make a PR with additional readme documentation on how to use this define:
