Auto refreshing the properties on client through configuration

[thefalconfeat]

its not very clear for me going through the documentation, but we have a need to configure certain set of application to get refreshed(properties) every 10 min and its becomes hazy to trigger /refresh every 10 min manually. Is it something that we can configure on the client application, if so how do we do it..?

You can easily @EnableScheduled and add a bean that calls the RefreshEndpoint.refresh() method every 10min (or whatever schedule you like of course). @EnableScheduled is a Spring core feature. That use case is even mentioned in the user guide I believe.

[thefalconfeat]

we are using cloudfoundry to deploy our applications, and it would be hard to get the exact endpoint of all the instances, especially when the application is running with multiple instances.

@thefalconfeat he's not suggesting you make a http call, but use @EnableScheduled IN your application to call RefreshEndpoint.refresh() directly in java code.

thanks, this is helpful

Hi, I was wondering if you could consider at least implementing a kind of event publishing within the config server something similar to: jmnarloch@c1a0035#diff-14f7a9bbd398562fdfd12ce9f6619d7cR179

With at least such API it would be trivial for anyone to implement on top of that selective push notifications/refreshes to Eureka/Ribbon configured nodes in it's application.

@jmnarloch you should open a new issue rather than commenting on one that is closed.

@jmnarloch please disregard my comment, I see you opened a new issue :-)
