Querying all services with Consul Template

As of Consul Template 0.6.0, it is possible to have a complex dependency graph with dependent services. As such, it is possible to query and watch all services in Consul:

Query All Services

{{range services}}# {{.Name}}{{range service .Name}}
{{.Address}}{{end}}

{{end}}

Save this file to disk at a place reachable by the Consul Template process like /tmp/all.ctmpl and run Consul Template:

$ consul-template \
  -template="/tmp/all.ctmpl:/tmp/all"

Here is an example of what the file may render:

# consul
104.131.121.232

# redis
104.131.86.92
104.131.109.224
104.131.59.59

# web
104.131.86.92
104.131.109.224
104.131.59.59
