Description of the Issue (and unexpected/desired result)

my service config looks like this

{
"service": {
    "name": "dkron",
    "tags": ["dkron"],
    "checks": [
        {
            "id": "check-dkron",
            "script": "check_procs -c 1:1 -C dkron",
            "timeout": "20s",
            "interval": "1m"
        },
        {
            "id": "check-load",
            "script": "check_load -r -w 50,50,50 -c 80,80,80",
            "interval": "1m"
        }
    ]
  }
}

consul doesn't recognize the check ids instead it shows "service:dkron:1" and "service:dkron:2". i want it to simply show "check-dkron" or atleast "service:dkron:check-dkron"

if i put these checks in a separate json file they work just fine. what am i doing wrong?

[magiconair]

try checkID instead of id when embedding the checks with the service. we have an issue open which should consolidate this: #3179

[stephenranjit]

so adding checkID didn't work. had the same problem but i added ServiceID and ServiceName to the checks in a separate config and it worked. I now have separate checks for each service. hopefully the checkID fix should resolve this issue in future releases.

[magiconair]

consul 1.0 will allow you to set a check id via the id field but you need to ensure that they are unique per agent.

[magiconair]

This works now in consul 1.0.
