Description

To disable service registration the documentation says

To disable the service registration you can set spring.cloud.consul.discovery.register to false.

However, I found that I had to set spring.cloud.consul.service-registry.auto-registration.enabled = false

Can you please confirm if the documentation is incorrect? I don't see any references to the property had to set anywhere except the appendix.

Confirm which property disables service registration in the documented context, then update the wording or cross-reference so the configuration guidance is unambiguous.
