title: Register Center Instance Config keywords: [“register center”] description: Register Instance

This document will introduce how to register the gateway instance to the registry. The Apache ShenYu gateway currently supports registration to zookeeper , etcd and consul.

Add Maven dependency

First, introduce the following dependencies in the gateway's pom.xml file.

<!--shenyu instance start-->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.shenyu</groupId>
    <artifactId>shenyu-spring-boot-starter-instance</artifactId>
    <version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!--shenyu instance end-->

Use zookeeper

Please pay attention! From ShenYu 2.5.0, ShenYu will no longer support Zookeeper 3.4.x or below version. If you're already using Zookeeper, You need to use Zookeeper with a higher version and initialize the data.

Add the following configuration to the gateway's yml file:

instance:
    enabled: true
    registerType: zookeeper
    serverLists: localhost:2181 #config with your zk address, used by the cluster environment, separated with (,).
    props:
      sessionTimeout: 3000 #Optional, default 3000
      connectionTimeout: 3000 #Optional, default 3000

Use etcd

Add the following configuration to the gateway's yml file:

instance:
    enabled: true
    registerType: etcd
    serverLists: http://localhost:2379 #config with your etcd address, used by the cluster environment, separated with (,).
    props:
      etcdTimeout: 3000 #Optional, default 3000
      etcdTTL: 5 #Optional, default 5

Use apollo

Add the following configuration to the gateway's yml file:

instance:
    enabled: true
    registerType: apollo
    serverLists: http://localhost:8080
    props:
      env: dev
      appId: shenyu
      namespace: application
      clusterName: default
      token: 0fff5645fc74ee5e0d63a6389433c8c8afc0beea31eed0279ecc1c8961d12da9
      portalUrl: http://localhost:8070

After the configuration is complete, start the gateway and it will successfully register to the corresponding registration center.
