Description

Consul meta tags are currently not configurable when registering a Nomad agent.

https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/0a90cee7b724f5fb9e74c2d1f9ff948acbfe5b00/command/agent/consul/service_client.go#L777-L780

While the tag parameter is supported, it is an array and makes looking up things harder in consul as opposed to a meta parameter which provides a key-value structure.

Research direction

Start in command/agent/consul/service_client.go around lines 777-780, where the Consul registration currently handles tags. Trace how the Nomad agent's Consul stanza is configured and verify that a key-value meta parameter reaches the registration request alongside the existing tags; done means meta values are configurable and sent when registering an agent.
