A Consul operator is deploying a server agent and needs to specify configuration parameters. They have set `data_dir` and `server = true`. Which additional parameter is required to correctly identify this agent's datacenter?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. `datacenter`. The `datacenter` configuration parameter identifies which logical datacenter the agent belongs to. Without it Consul defaults to `dc1`, but it is a required parameter in the official deployment guide for a correctly configured server. `bootstrap_expect` is also critical for server bootstrapping but the question focuses on datacenter identity. Option a is wrong because `node_name` defaults to the hostname and is not required.
