<p><a href="http://pivotal.io/platform-as-a-service/migrating-to-cloud-native-application-architectures-ebook">Cloud Native</a> is a style of application development that encourages easy adoption of best practices in the areas of continuous delivery and value-driven development. A related discipline is that of building <a href="http://12factor.net/">12-factor Apps</a> in which development practices are aligned with delivery and operations goals, for instance by using declarative programming and management and monitoring. Spring Cloud facilitates these styles of development in a number of specific ways and the starting point is a set of features that all components in a distributed system either need or need easy access to when required.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Many of those features are covered by <a href="http://projects.spring.io/spring-boot">Spring Boot</a>, which we build on in Spring Cloud. Some more are delivered by Spring Cloud as two libraries: Spring Cloud Context and Spring Cloud Commons. Spring Cloud Context provides utilities and special services for the <code>ApplicationContext</code> of a Spring Cloud application (bootstrap context, encryption, refresh scope and environment endpoints). Spring Cloud Commons is a set of abstractions and common classes used in different Spring Cloud implementations (eg. Spring Cloud Netflix vs. Spring Cloud Consul).</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Boot has an opinionated view of how to build an application
with Spring: for instance it has conventional locations for common
configuration file, and endpoints for common management and monitoring
tasks. Spring Cloud builds on top of that and adds a few features that
probably all components in a system would use or occasionally need.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_the_bootstrap_application_context">The Bootstrap Application Context</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A Spring Cloud application operates by creating a "bootstrap"
context, which is a parent context for the main application. Out of
the box it is responsible for loading configuration properties from
the external sources, and also decrypting properties in the local
external configuration files. The two contexts share an <code>Environment</code>
which is the source of external properties for any Spring
application. Bootstrap properties are added with high precedence, so
they cannot be overridden by local configuration.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The bootstrap context uses a different convention for locating
external configuration than the main application context, so instead
of <code>application.yml</code> (or <code>.properties</code>) you use <code>bootstrap.yml</code>,
keeping the external configuration for bootstrap and main context
nicely separate. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">bootstrap.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>spring:
application:
name: foo
cloud:
config:
uri: ${SPRING_CONFIG_URI:http://localhost:8888}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>It is a good idea to set the <code>spring.application.name</code> (in
<code>bootstrap.yml</code> or <code>application.yml</code>) if your application needs any
application-specific configuration from the server.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can disable the bootstrap process completely by setting
<code>spring.cloud.bootstrap.enabled=false</code> (e.g. in System properties).</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_application_context_hierarchies">Application Context Hierarchies</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you build an application context from <code>SpringApplication</code> or
<code>SpringApplicationBuilder</code>, then the Bootstrap context is added as a
parent to that context. It is a feature of Spring that child contexts
inherit property sources and profiles from their parent, so the "main"
application context will contain additional property sources, compared
to building the same context without Spring Cloud Config. The
additional property sources are:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>"bootstrap": an optional <code>CompositePropertySource</code> appears with high
priority if any <code>PropertySourceLocators</code> are found in the Bootstrap
context, and they have non-empty properties. An example would be
properties from the Spring Cloud Config Server. See
<a href="#customizing-bootstrap-property-sources">below</a> for instructions
on how to customize the contents of this property source.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>"applicationConfig: [classpath:bootstrap.yml]" (and friends if
Spring profiles are active). If you have a <code>bootstrap.yml</code> (or
properties) then those properties are used to configure the Bootstrap
context, and then they get added to the child context when its parent
is set. They have lower precedence than the <code>application.yml</code> (or
properties) and any other property sources that are added to the child
as a normal part of the process of creating a Spring Boot
application. See <a href="#customizing-bootstrap-properties">below</a> for
instructions on how to customize the contents of these property
sources.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Because of the ordering rules of property sources the "bootstrap"
entries take precedence, but note that these do not contain any data
from <code>bootstrap.yml</code>, which has very low precedence, but can be used
to set defaults.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can extend the context hierarchy by simply setting the parent
context of any <code>ApplicationContext</code> you create, e.g. using its own
interface, or with the <code>SpringApplicationBuilder</code> convenience methods
(<code>parent()</code>, <code>child()</code> and <code>sibling()</code>). The bootstrap context will be
the parent of the most senior ancestor that you create yourself.
Every context in the hierarchy will have its own "bootstrap" property
source (possibly empty) to avoid promoting values inadvertently from
parents down to their descendants. Every context in the hierarchy can
also (in principle) have a different <code>spring.application.name</code> and
hence a different remote property source if there is a Config
Server. Normal Spring application context behaviour rules apply to
property resolution: properties from a child context override those in
the parent, by name and also by property source name (if the child has
a property source with the same name as the parent, the one from the
parent is not included in the child).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that the <code>SpringApplicationBuilder</code> allows you to share an
<code>Environment</code> amongst the whole hierarchy, but that is not the
default. Thus, sibling contexts in particular do not need to have the
same profiles or property sources, even though they will share common
things with their parent.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="customizing-bootstrap-properties">Changing the Location of Bootstrap Properties</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>bootstrap.yml</code> (or <code>.properties</code>) location can be specified using
<code>spring.cloud.bootstrap.name</code> (default "bootstrap") or
<code>spring.cloud.bootstrap.location</code> (default empty), e.g. in System
properties. Those properties behave like the <code>spring.config.*</code>
variants with the same name, in fact they are used to set up the
bootstrap <code>ApplicationContext</code> by setting those properties in its
<code>Environment</code>. If there is an active profile (from
<code>spring.profiles.active</code> or through the <code>Environment</code> API in the
context you are building) then properties in that profile will be
loaded as well, just like in a regular Spring Boot app, e.g. from
<code>bootstrap-development.properties</code> for a "development" profile.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_customizing_the_bootstrap_configuration">Customizing the Bootstrap Configuration</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The bootstrap context can be trained to do anything you like by adding
entries to <code>/META-INF/spring.factories</code> under the key
<code>org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration</code>. This is
a comma-separated list of Spring <code>@Configuration</code> classes which will
be used to create the context. Any beans that you want to be available
to the main application context for autowiring can be created here,
and also there is a special contract for <code>@Beans</code> of type
<code>ApplicationContextInitializer</code>. Classes can be marked with an <code>@Order</code>
if you want to control the startup sequence (the default order is
"last").</p>

<p>The bootstrap process ends by injecting initializers into the main
<code>SpringApplication</code> instance (i.e. the normal Spring Boot startup
sequence, whether it is running as a standalone app or deployed in an
application server). First a bootstrap context is created from the
classes found in <code>spring.factories</code> and then all <code>@Beans</code> of type
<code>ApplicationContextInitializer</code> are added to the main
<code>SpringApplication</code> before it is started.</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="customizing-bootstrap-property-sources">Customizing the Bootstrap Property Sources</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default property source for external configuration added by the
bootstrap process is the Config Server, but you can add additional
sources by adding beans of type <code>PropertySourceLocator</code> to the
bootstrap context (via <code>spring.factories</code>). You could use this to
insert additional properties from a different server, or from a
database, for instance.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As an example, consider the following trivial custom locator:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Configuration
public class CustomPropertySourceLocator implements PropertySourceLocator {
@Override
public PropertySource&lt;?&gt; locate(Environment environment) {
return new MapPropertySource("customProperty",
Collections.&lt;String, Object&gt;singletonMap("property.from.sample.custom.source", "worked as intended"));
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>Environment</code> that is passed in is the one for the
<code>ApplicationContext</code> about to be created, i.e. the one that we are
supplying additional property sources for. It will already have its
normal Spring Boot-provided property sources, so you can use those to
locate a property source specific to this <code>Environment</code> (e.g. by
keying it on the <code>spring.application.name</code>, as is done in the default
Config Server property source locator).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you create a jar with this class in it and then add a
<code>META-INF/spring.factories</code> containing:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>org.springframework.cloud.bootstrap.BootstrapConfiguration=sample.custom.CustomPropertySourceLocator</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>then the "customProperty" <code>PropertySource</code> will show up in any
application that includes that jar on its classpath.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_environment_changes">Environment Changes</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The application will listen for an <code>EnvironmentChangedEvent</code> and react
to the change in a couple of standard ways (additional
<code>ApplicationListeners</code> can be added as <code>@Beans</code> by the user in the
normal way). When an <code>EnvironmentChangedEvent</code> is observed it will
have a list of key values that have changed, and the application will
use those to:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Re-bind any <code>@ConfigurationProperties</code> beans in the context</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set the logger levels for any properties in <code>logging.level.*</code></p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that the Config Client does not by default poll for changes in
the <code>Environment</code>, and generally we would not recommend that approach
for detecting changes (although you could set it up with a
<code>@Scheduled</code> annotation). If you have a scaled-out client application
then it is better to broadcast the <code>EnvironmentChangedEvent</code> to all
the instances instead of having them polling for changes (e.g. using
the <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-bus">Spring Cloud
Bus</a>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>EnvironmentChangedEvent</code> covers a large class of refresh use
cases, as long as you can actually make a change to the <code>Environment</code>
and publish the event (those APIs are public and part of core
Spring). You can verify the changes are bound to
<code>@ConfigurationProperties</code> beans by visiting the <code>/configprops</code>
endpoint (normal Spring Boot Actuator feature). For instance a
<code>DataSource</code> can have its <code>maxPoolSize</code> changed at runtime (the
default <code>DataSource</code> created by Spring Boot is an
<code>@ConfigurationProperties</code> bean) and grow capacity
dynamically. Re-binding <code>@ConfigurationProperties</code> does not cover
another large class of use cases, where you need more control over the
refresh, and where you need a change to be atomic over the whole
<code>ApplicationContext</code>. To address those concerns we have
<code>@RefreshScope</code>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_refresh_scope">Refresh Scope</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A Spring <code>@Bean</code> that is marked as <code>@RefreshScope</code> will get special
treatment when there is a configuration change. This addresses the
problem of stateful beans that only get their configuration injected
when they are initialized. For instance if a <code>DataSource</code> has open
connections when the database URL is changed via the <code>Environment</code>, we
probably want the holders of those connections to be able to complete
what they are doing. Then the next time someone borrows a connection
from the pool he gets one with the new URL.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Refresh scope beans are lazy proxies that initialize when they are
used (i.e. when a method is called), and the scope acts as a cache of
initialized values. To force a bean to re-initialize on the next
method call you just need to invalidate its cache entry.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>RefreshScope</code> is a bean in the context and it has a public method
<code>refreshAll()</code> to refresh all beans in the scope by clearing the
target cache. There is also a <code>refresh(String)</code> method to refresh an
individual bean by name. This functionality is exposed in the
<code>/refresh</code> endpoint (over HTTP or JMX).</p>

<div class="admonitionblock note">

<td class="icon">

<td class="content">
<code>@RefreshScope</code> works (technically) on an <code>@Configuration</code>
class, but it might lead to surprising behaviour: e.g. it does <strong>not</strong>
mean that all the <code>@Beans</code> defined in that class are themselves
<code>@RefreshScope</code>. Specifically, anything that depends on those beans
cannot rely on them being updated when a refresh is initiated, unless
it is itself in <code>@RefreshScope</code> (in which it will be rebuilt on a
refresh and its dependencies re-injected, at which point they will be
re-initialized from the refreshed <code>@Configuration</code>).

Server, and has the same external configuration via <code>encrypt.*</code>. Thus
you can use encrypted values in the form <code>{cipher}*</code> and as long as
there is a valid key then they will be decrypted before the main
application context gets the <code>Environment</code>. To use the encryption
features in a client you need to include Spring Security RSA in your

As an application moves through the deployment pipeline from dev to test and into production you can manage the configuration between those environments and be certain that applications have everything they need to run when they migrate. The default implementation of the server storage backend uses git so it easily supports labelled versions of configuration environments, as well as being accessible to a wide range of tooling for managing the content. It is easy to add alternative implementations and plug them in with Spring configuration.

<h3 id="_environment_repository">Environment Repository</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Where do you want to store the configuration data for the Config
Server? The strategy that governs this behaviour is the
<code>EnvironmentRepository</code>, serving <code>Environment</code> objects. This
<code>Environment</code> is a shallow copy of the domain from the Spring
<code>Environment</code> (including <code>propertySources</code> as the main feature). The
<code>Environment</code> resources are parametrized by three variables:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>{application}</code> maps to "spring.application.name" on the client side;</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>{profile}</code> maps to "spring.active.profiles" on the client (comma separated list); and</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>{label}</code> which is a server side feature labelling a "versioned" set of config files.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Repository implementations generally behave just like a Spring Boot
application loading configuration files from a "spring.config.name"
equal to the <code>{application}</code> parameter, and "spring.profiles.active"
equal to the <code>{profiles}</code> parameter. Precedence rules for profiles are
also the same as in a regular Boot application: active profiles take
precedence over defaults, and if there are multiple profiles the last
one wins (like adding entries to a <code>Map</code>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example: a client application has this bootstrap configuration:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">bootstrap.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml">spring:
application:
name: foo
profiles:
active: dev,mysql</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(as usual with a Spring Boot application, these properties could also
be set as environment variables or command line arguments).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the repository is file-based, the server will create an
<code>Environment</code> from <code>application.yml</code> (shared between all clients), and
<code>foo.yml</code> (with <code>foo.yml</code> taking precedence). If the YAML files have
documents inside them that point to Spring profiles, those are applied
with higher precendence (in order of the profiles listed), and if
there are profile-specific YAML (or properties) files these are also
applied with higher precedence than the defaults. Higher precendence
translates to a <code>PropertySource</code> listed earlier in the
<code>Environment</code>. (These are the same rules as apply in a standalone
Spring Boot application.)</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_git_backend">Git Backend</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default implementation of <code>EnvironmentRepository</code> uses a Git
backend, which is very convenient for managing upgrades and physical
environments, and also for auditing changes. To change the location of
the repository you can set the "spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri"
configuration property in the Config Server (e.g. in
<code>application.yml</code>). If you set it with a <code>file:</code> prefix it should work
from a local repository so you can get started quickly and easily
without a server, but in that case the server operates directly on the
local repository without cloning it (it doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s not
bare because the Config Server never makes changes to the "remote"
repository). To scale the Config Server up and make it highly
available, you would need to have all instances of the server pointing
to the same repository, so only a shared file system would work. Even
in that case it is better to use the <code>ssh:</code> protocol for a shared
filesystem repository, so that the server can clone it and use a local
working copy as a cache.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This repository implementation maps the <code>{label}</code> parameter of the
HTTP resource to a git label (commit id, branch name or tag). If the
git branch or tag name contains a slash ("/") then the label in the
HTTP URL should be specified with the special string "(_)" instead (to
avoid ambiguity with other URL paths). Be careful with the brackets in
the URL if you are using a command line client like curl (e.g. escape
them from the shell with quotes '').</p>
</div>
<div class="sect4">
<h5 id="_placeholders_in_git_uri">Placeholders in Git URI</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Config Server supports a git repository URL with
placeholders for the <code>{application}</code> and <code>{profile}</code> (and <code>{label}</code> if
you need it, but remember that the label is applied as a git label
anyway). So you can easily support a "one repo per application" policy
using (for example):</p>

<code>{profile}</code>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect4">
<h5 id="_pattern_matching_and_multiple_repositories">Pattern Matching and Multiple Repositories</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There is also support for more complex requirements with pattern
matching on the application and profile name. The pattern format is a
comma-separated list of <code>{application}/{profile}</code> names with wildcards
(where a pattern beginning with a wildcard may need to be
quoted). Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml">spring:

uri: https://github.com/special/config-repo
local:
pattern: local*
uri: file:/home/configsvc/config-repo</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If <code>{application}/{profile}</code> does not match any of the patterns, it
will use the default uri defined under
"spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri". In the above example, for the
"simple" repository, the pattern is <code>simple/*</code> (i.e. it only matches
one application named "simple" in all profiles). The "local"
repository matches all application names beginning with "local" in all
profiles (the <code>/*</code> suffix is added automatically to any pattern that
doesn&#8217;t have a profile matcher).</p>

<p>The <code>pattern</code> property in the repo is actually an array, so you can

to run apps with multiple profiles. Example:</p>

apps in the "development" profile locally but also the "cloud" profile
remotely, for instance.

it is just a single property value to configure.</p>

<p>To configure an asymmetric key you can either set the key as a
PEM-encoded text value (in <code>encrypt.key</code>), or via a keystore (e.g. as

<p>The encryption is done with the public key, and a private key is
needed for decryption. Thus in principle you can configure only the
public key in the server if you only want to do encryption (and are
prepared to decrypt the values yourself locally with the private
key). In practice you might not want to do that because it spreads the
key management process around all the clients, instead of
concentrating it in the server. On the other hand it&#8217;s a useful option
if your config server really is relatively insecure and only a

a <code>TextEncryptorLocator</code> which can do whatever logic it needs to
locate a <code>TextEncryptor</code> for the cipher. If you have configured a
keystore (<code>encrypt.keystore.location</code>) the default locator will look
for keys in the store with aliases as supplied by the "key" prefix,
i.e. with a cipher text like this:</p>

<p>Key rotation is hardly ever necessary on cryptographic grounds if the

that case all the clients would need to change their source config
files (e.g. in git) and use a new <code>{key:&#8230;&#8203;}</code> prefix in all the

<p>Instead of using the <code>Environment</code> abstraction (or one of the
alternative representations of it in YAML or properties format) your
applications might need generic plain text configuration files,
tailored to their environment. The Config Server provides these
through an additional endpoint at <code>/{name}/{profile}/{label}/{path}</code>
where "name", "profile" and "label" have the same meaning as the
regular environment endpoint, but "path" is a file name
(e.g. <code>log.xml</code>). The source files for this endpoint are located in
the same way as for the environment endpoints: the same search path is
used as for properties or YAML files, but instead of aggregating all
matching resources, only the first one to match is returned.</p>

interested. For instance
<a href="https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#pushevent">Github</a>
will POST to the webhook with a JSON body containing a list of
commits, and a header "X-Github-Event" equal to "push". If you add a

the Spring Cloud Bus in your Config Server, then a "/monitor" endpoint
is enabled.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When the webhook is activated the Config Server will send a
<code>RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent</code> targeted at the applications it thinks
might have changed. The change detection can be strategized, but by
default it just looks for changes in files that match the application

"application.properties" is targeted at all applications). The strategy

<code>Environment</code> with remote property sources.</p>

<p>The net result of this is that all client apps that want to consume

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you prefer to use Eureka to locate the Config Server, you can do
that by setting <code>spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=true</code> (default
"false"). The net result of that is that client apps all need a
<code>bootstrap.yml</code> (or an environment variable) with the Eureka server
address, e.g. in <code>eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone</code>. The price
for using this option is an extra network round trip on start up to
locate the service registration. The benefit is that the Config Server
can change its co-ordinates, as long as Eureka is a fixed point. The
default service id is "CONFIGSERVER" but you can change that on the
client with <code>spring.cloud.config.discovery.serviceId</code> (and on the server
in the usual way for a service, e.g. by setting <code>spring.application.name</code>).</p>

This project provides Netflix OSS integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration
and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. With a few
simple annotations you can quickly enable and configure the common patterns inside your
application and build large distributed systems with battle-tested Netflix components. The
patterns provided include Service Discovery (Eureka), Circuit Breaker (Hystrix),
Intelligent Routing (Zuul) and Client Side Load Balancing (Ribbon).

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice based architecture. Trying to hand configure each client or some form of convention can be very difficult to do and can be very brittle. Eureka is the Netflix Service Discovery Server and Client. The server can be configured and deployed to be highly available, with each server replicating state about the registered services to the others.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_registering_with_eureka">Registering with Eureka</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When a client registers with Eureka, it provides meta-data about itself
such as host and port, health indicator URL, home page etc. Eureka
receives heartbeat messages from each instance belonging to a service.
If the heartbeat fails over a configurable timetable, the instance is
normally removed from the registry.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example eureka client:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableEurekaClient
@RestController
public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
return "Hello world";
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class).web(true).run(args);
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(i.e. utterly normal Spring Boot app). In this example we use
<code>@EnableEurekaClient</code> explicitly, but with only Eureka available you
could also use <code>@EnableDiscoveryClient</code>. Configuration is required to
locate the Eureka server. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
client:
serviceUrl:
defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>where "defaultZone" is a magic string fallback value that provides the
service URL for any client that doesn&#8217;t express a preference
(i.e. it&#8217;s a useful default).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The default application name (service ID), virtual host and non-secure
port, taken from the <code>Environment</code>, are <code>${spring.application.name}</code>,
<code>${spring.application.name}</code> and <code>${server.port}</code> respectively.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>@EnableEurekaClient</code> makes the app into both a Eureka "instance"
(i.e. it registers itself) and a "client" (i.e. it can query the
registry to locate other services). The instance behaviour is driven
by <code>eureka.instance.*</code> configuration keys, but the defaults will be
fine if you ensure that your application has a
<code>spring.application.name</code> (this is the default for the Eureka service
ID, or VIP).</p>

<h3 id="_status_page_and_health_indicator">Status Page and Health Indicator</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The status page and health indicators for a Eureka instance default to
"/info" and "/health" respectively, which are the default locations of
useful endpoints in a Spring Boot Actuator application. You need to
change these, even for an Actuator application if you use a
non-default context path or servlet path
(e.g. <code>server.servletPath=/foo</code>) or management endpoint path
(e.g. <code>management.contextPath=/admin</code>). Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
statusPageUrlPath: ${management.context-path}/info
healthCheckUrlPath: ${management.context-path}/health</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These links show up in the metadata that is consumed by clients, and
used in some scenarios to decide whether to send requests to your
application, so it&#8217;s helpful if they are accurate.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_registering_a_secure_application">Registering a Secure Application</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If your app wants to be contacted over HTTPS you can set two flags in
the <code>EurekaInstanceConfig</code>, <em>viz</em>
<code>eureka.instance.[nonSecurePortEnabled,securePortEnabled]=[false,true]</code>
respectively. This will make Eureka publish instance information
showing an explicit preference for secure communication. The Spring
Cloud <code>DiscoveryClient</code> will always return an <code><a href="https://&#8230;&#8203" class="bare">https://&#8230;&#8203</a>;</code> URI for a
service configured this way, and the Eureka (native) instance
information will have a secure health check URL.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Because of the way
Eureka works internally, it will still publish a non-secure URL for
status and home page unless you also override those explicitly.
You can use placeholders to configure the eureka instance urls,
e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
statusPageUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/info
healthCheckUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/health
homePageUrl: https://${eureka.hostname}/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(Note that <code>${eureka.hostname}</code> is a native placeholder only available
in later versions of Eureka. You could achieve the same thing with
Spring placeholders as well, e.g. using <code>${eureka.instance.hostName}</code>.)</p>

If your app is running behind a proxy, and the SSL termination
is in the proxy (e.g. if you run in Cloud Foundry or other platforms
as a service) then you will need to ensure that the proxy "forwarded"
headers are intercepted and handled by the application. An embedded
Tomcat container in a Spring Boot app does this automatically if it
has explicit configuration for the 'X-Forwarded-\*` headers. A sign
that you got this wrong will be that the links rendered by your app to

<h3 id="_eureka_s_health_checks">Eureka&#8217;s Health Checks</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, Eureka uses the client heartbeat to determine if a client is up.
Unless specified otherwise the Discovery Client will not propagate the
current health check status of the application per the Spring Boot Actuator. Which means
that after successful registration Eureka will always announce that the
application is in 'UP' state. This behaviour can be altered by enabling
Eureka health checks, which results in propagating application status
to Eureka. As a consequence every other application won&#8217;t be sending
traffic to application in state other then 'UP'.</p>

<h3 id="_eureka_metadata_for_instances_and_clients">Eureka Metadata for Instances and Clients</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>It&#8217;s worth spending a bit of time understanding how the Eureka metadata works, so you can use it in a way that makes sense in your platform. There is standard metadata for things like hostname, IP address, port numbers, status page and health check. These are published in the service registry and used by clients to contact the services in a straightforward way. Additional metadata can be added to the instance registration in the <code>eureka.instance.metadataMap</code>, and this will be accessible in the remote clients, but in general will not change the behaviour of the client, unless it is made aware of the meaning of the metadata. There are a couple of special cases described below where Spring Cloud already assigns meaning to the metadata map.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_using_eureka_on_cloudfoundry">Using Eureka on Cloudfoundry</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Cloudfoundry has a global router so that all instances of the same app have the same hostname (it&#8217;s the same in other PaaS solutions with a similar architecture). This isn&#8217;t necessarily a barrier to using Eureka, but if you use the router (recommended, or even mandatory depending on the way your platform was set up), you need to explicitly set the hostname and port numbers (secure or non-secure) so that they use the router. You might also want to use instance metadata so you can distinguish between the instances on the client (e.g. in a custom load balancer). By default, the <code>eureka.instance.instanceId</code> is <code>vcap.application.instance_id</code>. For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>eureka:
instance:
hostname: ${vcap.application.uris[0]}

<p>Depending on the way the security rules are set up in your Cloudfoundry instance, you might be able to register and use the IP address of the host VM for direct service-to-service calls. This feature is not (yet) available on Pivotal Web Services (<a href="https://run.pivotal.io">PWS</a>).</p>

<p>A vanilla Netflix Eureka instance is registered with an ID that is equal to its host name (i.e. only one service per host). Spring Cloud Eureka provides a sensible default that looks like this: <code>${spring.cloud.client.hostname}:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${server.port}}}</code>. For example <code>myhost:myappname:8080</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using Spring Cloud you can override this by providing a unique identifier in <code>eureka.instance.instanceId</code>. For example:</p>

<p>With this metadata, and multiple service instances deployed on
localhost, the random value will kick in there to make the instance

keeping it alive (e.g. Cloud Foundry). In standalone mode, you might
prefer to switch off the client side behaviour, so it doesn&#8217;t keep
trying and failing to reach its peers. Example:</p>

<div class="listingblock">

<div class="content">
<pre>server:

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_peer_awareness">Peer Awareness</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Eureka can be made even more resilient and available by running
multiple instances and asking them to register with each other. In
fact, this is the default behaviour, so all you need to do to make it
work is add a valid <code>serviceUrl</code> to a peer, e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml (Two Peer Aware Eureka Servers)</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example we have a YAML file that can be used to run the same
server on 2 hosts (peer1 and peer2), by running it in different
Spring profiles. You could use this configuration to test the peer
awareness on a single host (there&#8217;s not much value in doing that in
production) by manipulating <code>/etc/hosts</code> to resolve the host names. In
fact, the <code>eureka.instance.hostname</code> is not needed if you are running
on a machine that knows its own hostname (it is looked up using
<code>java.net.InetAddress</code> by default).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can add multiple peers to a system, and as long as they are all
connected to each other by at least one edge, they will synchronize
the registrations amongst themselves. If the peers are physically
separated (inside a data centre or between multiple data centres) then
the system can in principle survive split-brain type failures.</p>

<p>To run the Hystrix Dashboard annotate your Spring Boot main class with <code>@EnableHystrixDashboard</code>. You then visit <code>/hystrix</code> and point the dashboard to an individual instances <code>/hystrix.stream</code> endpoint in a Hystrix client application.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_turbine">Turbine</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Looking at an individual instances Hystrix data is not very useful in terms of the overall health of the system. <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/Turbine">Turbine</a> is an application that aggregates all of the relevant <code>/hystrix.stream</code> endpoints into a combined <code>/turbine.stream</code> for use in the Hystrix Dashboard. Individual instances are located via Eureka. Running Turbine is as simple as annotating your main class with the <code>@EnableTurbine</code> annotation (e.g. using spring-cloud-starter-turbine to set up the classpath). All of the documented configuration properties from <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/Turbine/wiki/Configuration-(1.x)">the Turbine 1 wiki</a> apply. The only difference is that the <code>turbine.instanceUrlSuffix</code> does not need the port prepended as this is handled automatically unless <code>turbine.instanceInsertPort=false</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The configuration key <code>turbine.appConfig</code> is a list of eureka serviceIds that turbine will use to lookup instances. The turbine stream is then used in the Hystrix dashboard using a url that looks like: <code><a href="http://my.turbine.sever:8080/turbine.stream?cluster=&lt;CLUSTERNAME&gt" class="bare">http://my.turbine.sever:8080/turbine.stream?cluster=&lt;CLUSTERNAME&gt</a>;</code> (the cluster parameter can be omitted if the name is "default"). The <code>cluster</code> parameter must match an entry in <code>turbine.aggregator.clusterConfig</code>. Values returned from eureka are uppercase, thus we expect this example to work if there is an app registered with Eureka called "customers":</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>turbine:
aggregator:
clusterConfig: CUSTOMERS
appConfig: customers</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>clusterName</code> can be customized by a SPEL expression in <code>turbine.clusterNameExpression</code> with root an instance of <code>InstanceInfo</code>. The default value is <code>appName</code>, which means that the Eureka serviceId ends up as the cluster key (i.e. the <code>InstanceInfo</code> for customers has an <code>appName</code> of "CUSTOMERS"). A different example would be <code>turbine.clusterNameExpression=aSGName</code>, which would get the cluster name from the AWS ASG name. Another example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<pre>turbine:
aggregator:
clusterConfig: SYSTEM,USER
appConfig: customers,stores,ui,admin

<h3 id="_turbine_amqp">Turbine AMQP</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In some environments (e.g. in a PaaS setting), the classic Turbine model of pulling metrics from all the distributed Hystrix commands doesn&#8217;t work. In that case you might want to have your Hystrix commands push metrics to Turbine, and Spring Cloud enables that with AMQP messaging. All you need to do on the client is add a dependency to <code>spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-amqp</code> and make sure there is a Rabbit broker available (see Spring Boot documentation for details on how to configure the client credentials, but it should work out of the box for a local broker or in Cloud Foundry).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>On the server side Just create a Spring Boot application and annotate it with <code>@EnableTurbineAmqp</code> and by default it will come up on port 8989 (point your Hystrix dashboard to that port, any path). You can customize the port using either <code>server.port</code> or <code>turbine.amqp.port</code>. If you have <code>spring-boot-starter-web</code> and <code>spring-boot-starter-actuator</code> on the classpath as well, then you can open up the Actuator endpoints on a separate port (with Tomcat by default) by providing a <code>management.port</code> which is different.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can then point the Hystrix Dashboard to the Turbine AMQP Server instead of individual Hystrix streams. If Turbine AMQP is running on port 8989 on myhost, then put <code><a href="http://myhost:8989" class="bare">http://myhost:8989</a></code> in the stream input field in the Hystrix Dashboard. Circuits will be prefixed by their respective serviceId, followed by a dot, then the circuit name.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud provides a <code>spring-cloud-starter-turbine-amqp</code> that has all the dependencies you need to get a Turbine AMQP server running. You need Java 8 to run the app because it is Netty-based.</p>

<p>Note that Spring Boot (as of 1.2.2) creates a <code>ConnectionFactory</code> that

to make physical metadata available to the load balancer without using
AWS AMI metadata (which is what Netflix relies on). By default the
server list will be constructed with "zone" information as provided in
the instance metadata (so on the client set
<code>eureka.instance.metadataMap.zone</code>), and if that is missing it can use
the domain name from the server hostname as a proxy for zone (if the
flag <code>approximateZoneFromHostname</code> is set). Once the zone information is
available it can be used in a <code>ServerListFilter</code> (by default it will
be used to locate a server in the same zone as the client because the

<h3 id="netflix-zuul-reverse-proxy">Embedded Zuul Reverse Proxy</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud has created an embedded Zuul proxy to ease the
development of a very common use case where a UI application wants to
proxy calls to one or more back end services. This feature is useful
for a user interface to proxy to the backend services it requires,
avoiding the need to manage CORS and authentication concerns
independently for all the backends.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To enable it, annotate a Spring Boot main class with
<code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>, and this forwards local calls to the appropriate
service. By convention, a service with the Eureka ID "users", will
receive requests from the proxy located at <code>/users</code> (with the prefix
stripped). The proxy uses Ribbon to locate an instance to forward to
via Eureka, and all requests are executed in a hystrix command, so
failures will show up in Hystrix metrics, and once the circuit is open
the proxy will not try to contact the service.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To skip having a service automatically added, set
<code>zuul.ignored-services</code> to a list of service id patterns. If a service
matches a pattern that is ignored, but also included in the explicitly
configured routes map, then it will be unignored. Example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
ignoredServices: '*'
routes:
users: /myusers/**</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example, all services are ignored <strong>except</strong> "users".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To augment or change
the proxy routes, you can add external configuration like the
following:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users: /myusers/**</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This means that http calls to "/myusers" get forwarded to the "users"
service (for example "/myusers/101" is forwarded to "/101").</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To get more fine-grained control over a route you can specify the path
and the serviceId independently:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users:
path: /myusers/**
serviceId: users_service</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This means that http calls to "/myusers" get forwarded to the
"users_service" service. The route has to have a "path" which can be
specified as an ant-style pattern, so "/myusers/*" only matches one
level, but "/myusers/{asterisk}{asterisk}" matches hierarchically.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The location of the backend can be specified as either a "serviceId"
(for a Eureka service) or a "url" (for a physical location), e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users:
path: /myusers/**
url: http://example.com/users_service</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These simple url-routes doesn&#8217;t get executed as HystrixCommand nor can you loadbalance multiple url with Ribbon.
To achieve this specify a service-route and configure a Ribbon client for the
serviceId (this currently requires disabling Eureka support in Ribbon:
see <a href="#spring-cloud-ribbon-without-eureka">above for more information</a>), e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml">zuul:
routes:
users:
path: /myusers/**
serviceId: users
ribbon:
eureka:
enabled: false
users:
ribbon:
listOfServers: example.com,google.com</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can provide convention between serviceId and routes using
regexmapper. It uses regular expression named group to extract
variables from serviceId and inject them into a route pattern.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">ApplicationConfiguration.java</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Bean
public PatternServiceRouteMapper serviceRouteMapper() {
return new PatternServiceRouteMapper(
"(?&lt;name&gt;^.+)-(?&lt;version&gt;v.+$)",
"${version}/${name}");
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This means that a serviceId "myusers-v1" will be mapped to route
"/v1/myusers/{asterisk}{asterisk}". Any regular expression is accepted but all named
group must be present in both servicePattern and routePattern. If
servicePattern do not match a serviceId, the default behavior is
used. In exemple above, a serviceId "myusers" will be mapped to route
"/myusers/{asterisk}{asterisk}" (no version detected) These feature is disable by
default and is only applied to discovered services.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To add a prefix to all mappings, set <code>zuul.prefix</code> to a value, such as
<code>/api</code>. The proxy prefix is stripped from the request before the
request is forwarded by default (switch this behaviour off with
<code>zuul.stripPrefix=false</code>). You can also switch off the stripping of
the service-specific prefix from individual routes, e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
users:
path: /myusers/**
stripPrefix: false</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example requests to "/myusers/101" will be forwarded to "/myusers/101" on the "users" service.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>zuul.routes</code> entries actually bind to an object of type <code>ProxyRouteLocator</code>. If you
look at the properties of that object you will see that it also has a "retryable" flag.
Set that flag to "true" to have the Ribbon client automatically retry failed requests
(and if you need to you can modify the parameters of the retry operations using
the Ribbon client configuration).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>X-Forwarded-Host</code> header is added to the forwarded requests by
default. To turn it off set <code>zuul.addProxyHeaders = false</code>. The
prefix path is stripped by default, and the request to the backend
picks up a header "X-Forwarded-Prefix" ("/myusers" in the examples
above).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An application with the <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code> could act as a standalone
server if you set a default route ("/"), for example <code>zuul.route.home:
/</code> would route all traffic (i.e. "/{asterisk}{asterisk}") to the "home" service.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If more fine-grained ignoring is needed, you can specify specific patterns to ignore.
These patterns are being evaluated at the start of the route location process, which
means prefixes should be included in the pattern to warrant a match. Ignored patterns
span all services and supersede any other route specification.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>

<p>This means that all calls such as "/myusers/101" will be forwarded to "/101" on the "users" service.
But calls including "/admin/" will not resolve.</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_strangulation_patterns_and_local_forwards">Strangulation Patterns and Local Forwards</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A common pattern when migrating an existing application or API is to
"strangle" old endpoints, slowly replacing them with different
implementations. The Zuul proxy is a useful tool for this because you
can use it to handle all traffic from clients of the old endpoints,
but redirect some of the requests to new ones.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Example configuration:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml"> zuul:
routes:
first:
path: /first/**
url: http://first.example.com
second:
path: /second/**
url: forward:/second
third:
path: /third/**
url: forward:/3rd
legacy:
path: /**
url: http://legacy.example.com</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this example we are strangling the "legacy" app which is mapped to
all requests that do not match one of the other patterns. Paths in
<code>/first/{asterisk}{asterisk}</code> have been extracted into a new service with an external
URL. And paths in <code>/second/{asterisk}{asterisk}</code> are forwared so they can be handled
locally, e.g. with a normal Spring <code>@RequestMapping</code>. Paths in
<code>/third/{asterisk}{asterisk}</code> are also forwarded, but with a different prefix
(i.e. <code>/third/foo</code> is forwarded to <code>/3rd/foo</code>).</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_uploading_files_through_zuul">Uploading Files through Zuul</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code> you can use the proxy paths to
upload files and it should just work as long as the files
are small. For large files there is an alternative path
which bypasses the Spring <code>DispatcherServlet</code> (to
avoid multipart processing) in "/zuul/*". I.e. if
<code>zuul.routes.customers=/customers/{asterisk}{asterisk}</code> then you can
POST large files to "/zuul/customers/*". The servlet
path is externalized via <code>zuul.servletPath</code>. Extremely
large files will also require elevated timeout settings
if the proxy route takes you through a Ribbon load
balancer, e.g.</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-yaml" data-lang="yaml">hystrix.command.default.execution.isolation.thread.timeoutInMilliseconds: 60000
ribbon:
ConnectTimeout: 3000
ReadTimeout: 60000</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that for streaming to work with large files, you need to use chunked encoding in the request (which some browsers
do not do by default). E.g. on the command line:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ curl -v -H "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" \
-F "file=@mylarge.iso" localhost:9999/zuul/simple/file</pre>

<h3 id="_plain_embedded_zuul">Plain Embedded Zuul</h3>

<p>You can also run a Zuul server without the proxying, or switch on parts of the proxying platform selectively, if you
use <code>@EnableZuulServer</code> (instead of <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>). Any beans that you add to the application of type <code>ZuulFilter</code>
will be installed automatically, as they are with <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>, but without any of the proxy filters being added
automatically.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this case the routes into the Zuul server are still specified by
configuring "zuul.routes.*", but there is no service
discovery and no proxying, so the "serviceId" and "url" settings are
ignored. For example:</p>

<p>Do you have non-jvm languages you want to take advantage of Eureka, Ribbon and
Config Server? The Spring Cloud Netflix Sidecar was inspired by
<a href="https://github.com/Netflix/Prana">Netflix Prana</a>. It includes a simple http api
to get all of the instances (ie host and port) for a given service. You can
also proxy service calls through an embedded Zuul proxy which gets its route
entries from Eureka. The Spring Cloud Config Server can be accessed directly
via host lookup or through the Zuul Proxy. The non-jvm app should implement
a health check so the Sidecar can report to eureka if the app is up or down.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To enable the Sidecar, create a Spring Boot application with <code>@EnableSidecar</code>.
This annotation includes <code>@EnableCircuitBreaker</code>, <code>@EnableDiscoveryClient</code>,
and <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>. Run the resulting application on the same host as the
non-jvm application.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>To configure the side car add <code>sidecar.port</code> and <code>sidecar.health-uri</code> to <code>application.yml</code>.
The <code>sidecar.port</code> property is the port the non-jvm app is listening on. This
is so the Sidecar can properly register the app with Eureka. The <code>sidecar.health-uri</code>
is a uri accessible on the non-jvm app that mimicks a Spring Boot health
indicator. It should return a json document like the following:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<p>The Zuul proxy automatically adds routes for each service known in eureka to

Non-jvm app can access the customer service via <code><a href="http://localhost:5678/customers" class="bare">http://localhost:5678/customers</a></code>
(assuming the sidecar is listening on port 5678).</p>

Some hierarchical metrics backends would allow you to specify a wild card such as <code>counter.status.200.<strong></code> that would read all 20 metrics and aggregate the results. Alternatively, you could provide a <code>HandlerInterceptorAdapter</code> that intercepts and records a metric like <code>counter.status.200.all</code> for all successful requests irrespective of the endpoint, but now you must write 20+1 different metrics. Similarly if you want to know the total number of successful requests for all endpoints in the service, you could specify a wild card such as <code>counter.status.2</strong>.*</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Even in the presence of wildcarding support on a hierarchical metrics backend, naming consistency can be difficult. Specifically the position of these tags in the name string can slip with time, breaking queries. For example, suppose we add an additional dimension to the hierarchical metrics above for HTTP method. Then <code>counter.status.200.root</code> becomes <code>counter.status.200.method.get.root</code>, etc. Our <code>counter.status.200.*</code> suddenly no longer has the same semantic meaning. Furthermore, if the new dimension is not applied uniformly across the codebase, certain queries may become impossible. This can quickly get out of hand.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Netflix metrics are tagged (a.k.a. dimensional). Each metric has a name, but this single named metric can contain multiple statistics and 'tag' key/value pairs that allows more querying flexibility. In fact, the statistics themselves are recorded in a special tag.</p>

<p>Recorded with Netflix Servo or Spectator, a timer for the root endpoint described above contains 4 statistics per status code, where the count statistic is identical to Spring Boot Actuator&#8217;s counter.

<div class="paragraph">
<p>The Spring Cloud Stream project allows a user to develop and run messaging microservices using Spring Integration.
Just add <code>@EnableBinding</code> and run your app as a Spring Boot app (single application context).
Spring Cloud Stream applications connect to the physical broker through bindings, which link Spring Integration
channels to physical broker destinations, for either input (consumer bindings) or output (producer bindings).
The creation of the bindings, and therefore their broker-specific implementation is handled by a binder, which is
another important abstraction of Spring Cloud Stream. Binders abstract out the broker-specific implementation details.
In order to connect to a specific type of broker (e.g. Rabbit or Kafka) you just need to have the relevant binder
implementation on the classpath.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Here&#8217;s a sample source app (output channel only):</p>

<div class="listingblock">

<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@SpringBootApplication
public class StreamApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(StreamApplication.class, args);

public class TimerSource {
@Value("${format}")
private String format;
@Bean
@InboundChannelAdapter(value = Source.OUTPUT, poller = @Poller(fixedDelay = "${fixedDelay}", maxMessagesPerPoll = "1"))
public MessageSource&lt;String&gt; timerMessageSource() {
return () -&gt; new GenericMessage&lt;&gt;(new SimpleDateFormat(format).format(new Date()));
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>@EnableBinding</code> is parameterized by one or more interfaces (in this case a single <code>Source</code> interface), which declares
input and/or output channels. The interfaces <code>Source</code>, <code>Sink</code> and <code>Processor</code> are provided off the shelf, but you can
define others. Here&#8217;s the definition of <code>Source</code>:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">public interface Source {
String OUTPUT = "output";
@Output(Source.OUTPUT)
MessageChannel output();
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>@Output</code> annotation is used to identify output channels (messages leaving the app), and <code>@Input</code> is used to
identify input channels (messages entering the app). It is optionally parameterized by a channel name - if the name is
not provided the method name is used instead. An implementation of the interface is created for you and can be used in
the application context by autowiring it, e.g. into a test case:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

In this case there is only one <code>Source</code> in the application context so there is no need to qualify it when it is

<h4 id="_multiple_input_or_output_channels">Multiple Input or Output Channels</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A stream app can have multiple input or output channels defined as <code>@Input</code> and <code>@Output</code> methods in an interface.
Instead of just one channel named "input" or "output", you can add multiple <code>MessageChannel</code> methods annotated with
<code>@Input</code> or <code>@Output</code>, and their names will be converted to external destination names on the broker. It is common to
specify the channel names at runtime in order to have multiple applications communicate over well known destination
names. Channel names can be specified as properties that consist of the channel names prefixed with
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings</code> (e.g. <code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input</code> or <code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output</code>).
These properties can be specified though environment variables, the application YAML file, or any of the other
mechanisms supported by Spring Boot.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, you can have two <code>MessageChannels</code> called "default" and "tap" in an application with
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.default.destination=foo</code> and <code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.tap.destination=bar</code>,
and the result is 2 bindings to an external broker with destinations called "foo" and "bar".</p>

<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_inter_app_communication">Inter-app Communication</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While Spring Cloud Stream makes it easy for individual boot apps to connect to messaging systems, the typical scenario
for Spring Cloud Stream is the creation of multi-app pipelines, where microservice apps are sending data to each other.
This can be achieved by correlating the input and output destinations of adjacent apps, as in the following example.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Supposing that the design calls for the <code>time-source</code> app to send data to the <code>log-sink</code> app, we will use a
common destination named <code>ticktock</code> for bindings within both apps. <code>time-source</code> will set
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.destination=ticktock</code>, and <code>log-sink</code> will set
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=ticktock</code>.</p>
</div>

<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_consumer_group_support">Consumer Group Support</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Stream is a library focusing on building message-driven microservices, and more specifically stream
processing applications. In such scenarios, communication between different logical applications follows a
publish-subscribe pattern, with data being broadcast through a shared topic, but at the same time, it is important to
be able to scale up by creating multiple instances of a given application, which are in a competing consumer
relationship with each other.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Stream models this behavior through the concept of a consumer group, which is similar to the notion of
consumer groups in Kafka. Each consumer binding can specify a group name such as
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.group=foo</code> (the actual name of the binding may vary). Each consumer group bound to
a given destination will receive a copy of the published data, but within the group, only one application will receive
each specific message.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If no consumer group is specified for a given binding, then the binding is treated as if belonging to an anonymous,
independent, single-member consumer group. Otherwise said, if no consumer group is specified for a binding, it will be
in a publish-subscribe relationship with any other consumer groups.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In general, it is preferable to always specify a consumer group when binding an application to a given destination.
When scaling up a Spring Cloud Stream application, a consumer group must be specified for each of its input bindings,
in order to prevent its instances from receiving duplicate messages (unless that behavior is desired, which is a less
common use case).</p>

<h4 id="_instance_index_and_instance_count">Instance Index and Instance Count</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When scaling up Spring Cloud Stream applications, each instance can receive information about how many other instances
of the same application exist and what its own instance index is. This is done through the
<code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount</code> and <code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex</code> properties. For example, if there are 3
instances of the HDFS sink application, all three will have <code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount</code> set to 3, and the
applications will have <code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex</code> set to 0, 1 and 2, respectively. When Spring Cloud Stream
applications are deployed via Spring Cloud Data Flow, these properties are configured automatically, but when Spring
Cloud Stream applications are launched independently, these properties must be set correctly. By default
<code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount</code> is 1, and <code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex</code> is 0.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Setting up the two properties correctly on scale up scenarios is important for addressing partitioning behavior in
general (see below), and they are always required by certain types of binders (e.g. the Kafka binder) in order to
ensure that data is split correctly across multiple consumer instances.</p>

<p>The input and output destination names are the primary properties to set in order to have Spring Cloud Stream
applications communicate with each other as their channels are bound to an external message broker automatically.
However, there are a number of scenarios where it is required to configure other attributes besides the destination
name. This is done using the following naming scheme:
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.&lt;channelName&gt;.&lt;attributeName&gt;=&lt;attributeValue&gt;</code>. The <code>destination</code> attribute is one such
example: <code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=foo</code>. A shorthand equivalent can be used as follows:
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input=foo</code>, but that shorthand can only be used only when there are no other attributes
to set on the binding. In other words,
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.destination=foo</code>,<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.partitioned=true</code> is a valid
setup, whereas <code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input=foo</code>,<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.partitioned=true</code> is not.</p>

<h5 id="_partitioning">Partitioning</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Stream provides support for partitioning data between multiple instances of a given application. In a
partitioned scenario, one or more producer apps will send data to one or more consumer apps, ensuring that data with
common characteristics is processed by the same consumer instance. The physical communication medium (i.e. the broker
topic or queue) is viewed as structured into multiple partitions. Regardless of whether the broker type is naturally
partitioned (e.g. Kafka) or not (e.g. Rabbit), Spring Cloud Stream provides a common abstraction for implementing
partitioned processing use cases in a uniform fashion.</p>

<code>partitionKeyExpression</code> is a SpEL expression that is evaluated against the outbound message for extracting the
partitioning key. If a SpEL expression is not sufficient for your needs, you can instead calculate the partition key
value by setting the property <code>partitionKeyExtractorClass</code>. This class must implement the interface
<code>org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionKeyExtractorStrategy</code>. While, in general, the SpEL expression should
suffice, more complex cases may use the custom implementation strategy.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Once the message key is calculated, the partition selection process will determine the target partition as a value
between <code>0</code> and <code>partitionCount - 1</code>. The default calculation, applicable in most scenarios is based on the formula
<code>key.hashCode() % partitionCount</code>. This can be customized on the binding, either by setting a SpEL expression to be
evaluated against the key via the <code>partitionSelectorExpression</code> property, or by setting a
<code>org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.PartitionSelectorStrategy</code> implementation via the <code>partitionSelectorClass</code>
property.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Additional properties can be configured for more advanced scenarios, as described in the following section.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect5">
<h6 id="_configuring_input_bindings_for_partitioning">Configuring Input Bindings for Partitioning</h6>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An input binding is configured to receive partitioned data by setting its <code>partitioned</code> property, as well as the
instance index and instance count properties on the app itself, as follows:
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.partitioned=true</code>,<code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceIndex=3</code>,<code>spring.cloud.stream.instanceCount=5</code>.
The instance count value represents the total number of app instances between which the data needs to be partitioned,
whereas instance index must be a unique value across the multiple instances, between <code>0</code> and <code>instanceCount - 1</code>. The
instance index helps each app instance to identify the unique partition (or in the case of Kafka, the partition set)
from which it receives data. It is important that both values are set correctly in order to ensure that all the data is
consumed, and that the app instances receive mutually exclusive datasets.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While setting up multiple instances for partitioned data processing may be complex in the standalone case, Spring Cloud
Data Flow can simplify the process significantly, by populating both the input and output values correctly, as well as
relying on the runtime infrastructure to provide information about the instance index and instance count.</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_binder_selection">Binder Selection</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Stream relies on implementations of the Binder SPI to perform the task of connecting channels to message
brokers. Each Binder implementation typically connects to one type of messaging system. Spring Cloud Stream provides
out of the box binders for Kafka, RabbitMQ and Redis.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect5">
<h6 id="_classpath_detection">Classpath Detection</h6>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, Spring Cloud Stream relies on Spring Boot&#8217;s auto-configuration to configure the binding process. If a
single binder implementation is found on the classpath, Spring Cloud Stream will use it automatically. So, for example,
a Spring Cloud Stream project that aims to bind only to RabbitMQ can simply add the following dependency:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-xml" data-lang="xml">&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.cloud&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect5">
<h6 id="_multiple_binders_on_the_classpath">Multiple Binders on the Classpath</h6>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When multiple binders are present on the classpath, the application must indicate which binder is to be used for each
channel binding. Each binder configuration contains a <code>META-INF/spring.binders</code>, which is a simple properties file:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code>rabbit:\
org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.rabbit.config.RabbitServiceAutoConfiguration</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Similar files exist for the other binder implementations (i.e. Kafka and Redis), and it is expected that custom binder
implementations will provide them, too. The key represents an identifying name for the binder implementation, whereas
the value is a comma-separated list of configuration classes that contain one and only one bean definition of the type
<code>org.springframework.cloud.stream.binder.Binder</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Selecting the binder can be done globally by either using the <code>spring.cloud.stream.defaultBinder</code> property, e.g.
<code>spring.cloud.stream.defaultBinder=rabbit</code>, or by individually configuring them on each channel binding.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For instance, a processor app that reads from Kafka and writes to Rabbit can specify the following configuration:
<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.input.binder=kafka</code>,<code>spring.cloud.stream.bindings.output.binder=rabbit</code>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect5">
<h6 id="_connecting_to_multiple_systems">Connecting to Multiple Systems</h6>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default, binders share the Spring Boot auto-configuration of the application and create one instance of each binder
found on the classpath. In scenarios where an application should connect to more than one broker of the same type,
Spring Cloud Stream allows you to specify multiple binder configurations, with different environment settings. Please
note that turning on explicit binder configuration will disable the default binder configuration process altogether, so
all the binders in use must be included in the configuration.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, this is the typical configuration for a processor that connects to two RabbitMQ broker instances:</p>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A producer is any component that sends messages to a channel. That channel can be bound to an external message broker
via a <code>Binder</code> implementation for that broker. When invoking the <code>bindProducer</code> method, the first parameter is the name
of the destination within that broker. The second parameter is the local channel instance to which the producer will be
sending messages, and the third parameter contains properties to be used within the adapter that is created for that
channel, such as a partition key expression.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A consumer is any component that receives messages from a channel. As with the producer, the consumers channel can be
bound to an external message broker, and the first parameter for the <code>bindConsumer</code> method is the destination name.
However, on the consumer side, a second parameter provides the name of a logical group of consumers. Each group
represented by consumer bindings for a given destination will receive a copy of each message that a producer sends to
that destination (i.e. pub/sub semantics). If there are multiple consumer instances bound using the same group name,
then messages will be load balanced across those consumer instances so that each message sent by a producer would only
be consumed by a single consumer instance within each group (i.e. queue semantics).</p>

<h5 id="getting-started-at-task">The @EnableTask annotation</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The first non boot annotation in our example is the <code>@EnableTask</code> annotation. This class
level annotation tells Spring Cloud Task to bootstrap it&#8217;s functionality. This occurs by
importing an additional configuration class, <code>SimpleTaskConfiguration</code> by default. This
additional configuration registers the <code>TaskRepository</code> and the infrastructure for its
use.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Out of the box, the <code>TaskRepository</code> will use an in memory <code>Map</code> to record the results
of a task. Obviously this isn&#8217;t a practical solution for a production environment since
the <code>Map</code> goes away once the task ends. However, for a quick getting started
experience we use this as a default as well as echoing to the logs what is being updated
in that repository. Later in this documentation we&#8217;ll cover how to customize the
configuration of the pieces provided by Spring Cloud Task.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When our sample application is run, Spring Boot will launch our
<code>HelloWorldCommandLineRunner</code> outputting our "Hello World!" message to standard out. The

repository.</p>

<div class="sect4">
<h5 id="getting-started-clr">The CommandLineRunner</h5>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In Spring, there are many ways to bootstrap an application&#8217;s logic. Spring Boot provides
a convenient method of doing so in an organized manor via their <code>*Runner</code> interfaces
(<code>CommandLineRunner</code> or <code>ApplicationRunner</code>). A well behaved task will bootstrap any
logic via one of these two runners.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The lifecycle of a task is considered from before the <code>*Runner#run</code> methods are executed

<h3 id="features-lifecycle">The lifecycle of a Spring Cloud Task</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In most cases, the modern cloud environment is designed around the execution of processes
that are not expected to end. If they do, they are typically restarted. While most
platforms do have some method to execute a process that isn&#8217;t restarted when it ends, the
results of that execution are typically not maintained in a consumable way. Spring Cloud
Task brings the ability to execute short lived processes in an environment and record the
results. This allows for a microservices architecture around short lived processes as
well as longer running services.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>While this functionality is useful in a cloud environment, the same issues can arise in a
traditional deployment model as well. When executing Spring Boot applications via a
scheduler like cron, it can be useful to be able to monitor the results of the application
after it&#8217;s completion.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A Spring Cloud Task takes the approach that a Spring Boot application can have a start and an
end and still be successful. Batch applications are just one example of where short lived
processes can be helpful. Spring Cloud Task records lifecycle events of a given task.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The lifecycle consists of a single task execution. This is a physical execution of a
Spring Boot application configured to be a task (annotated with the <code>@EnableTask</code>
annotation).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>At the beginning of a task, an entry in the <code>TaskRepository</code> is created recording the
start event. This event is triggered via the <code>ContextRefreshEvent</code> being triggered by
Spring Framework.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">

<p>When a task completes, it will want to return an exit code to the OS. If we take a look

record the exit code returned.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Bus links nodes of a distributed system with a lightweight message broker. This can then be used to broadcast state changes (e.g. configuration changes) or other management instructions. A key idea is that the Bus is like a distributed Actuator for a Spring Boot application that is scaled out, but it can also be used as a communication channel between apps. The only implementation currently is with an AMQP broker as the transport, but the same basic feature set (and some more depending on the transport) is on the roadmap for other transports.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Spring Cloud Bus works by adding Spring Boot autconfiguration if it detects itself on the classpath. All you need to do to enable the bus is to add <code>spring-cloud-starter-bus-amqp</code> to your dependency management and Spring Cloud takes care of the rest. Make sure RabbitMQ is available and configured to provide a <code>ConnectionFactory</code>: running on localhost you shouldn&#8217;t have to do anything, but if you are running remotely use Spring Cloud Connectors, or Spring Boot conventions to define the broker credentials, e.g.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>The bus currently supports sending messages to all nodes listening or all nodes for a particular service (as defined by Eureka). More selector criteria will be added in the future (ie. only service X nodes in data center Y, etc&#8230;&#8203;). The http endpoints are under the <code>/bus/*</code> actuator namespace. There are currently two implemented. The first, <code>/bus/env</code>, sends key/values pairs to update each nodes Spring Environment. The second, <code>/bus/refresh</code>, will reload each application&#8217;s configuration, just as if they had all been pinged on their <code>/refresh</code> endpoint.</p>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_addressing_an_instance">Addressing an Instance</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The HTTP endpoints accept a "destination" parameter, e.g. "/bus/refresh?destination=customers:9000", where the destination is an <code>ApplicationContext</code> ID. If the ID is owned by an instance on the Bus then it will process the message and all other instances will ignore it. Spring Boot sets the ID for you in the <code>ContextIdApplicationContextInitializer</code> to a combination of the <code>spring.application.name</code>, active profiles and <code>server.port</code> by default.</p>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_addressing_all_instances_of_a_service">Addressing all instances of a service</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The "destination" parameter is used in a Spring <code>PathMatcher</code> (with the path separator as a colon <code>:</code>) to determine if an instance will process the message. Using the example from above, "/bus/refresh?destination=customers:**" will target all instances of the "customers" service regardless of the profiles and ports set as the <code>ApplicationContext</code> ID.</p>

<h2 id="_application_context_id_must_be_unique">Application Context ID must be unique</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The bus tries to eliminate processing an event twice, once from the original <code>ApplicationEvent</code> and once from the queue. To do this, it checks the sending application context id againts the current application context id. If multiple instances of a service have the same application context id, events will not be processed. Running on a local machine, each service will be on a different port and that will be part of the application context id. Cloud Foundry supplies an index to differentiate. To ensure that the application context id is the unique, set <code>spring.application.index</code> to something unique for each instance of a service. For example, in lattice, set <code>spring.application.index=${INSTANCE_INDEX}</code> in application.properties (or bootstrap.properties if using configserver).</p>

<p>Spring Cloud Bus uses
<a href="https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-stream">Spring Cloud Stream</a> to

include the binder implementation of your choice in the

AMQP, Kafka and Redis
(<code>spring-cloud-starter-bus-[amqp,kafka,redis]</code>). Generally speaking
Spring Cloud Stream relies on Spring Boot autoconfiguration
conventions for configuring middleware, so for instance the AMQP
broker address can be changed with <code>spring.rabbitmq.*</code>
configuration properties. Spring Cloud Bus has a handful of native
configuration properties in <code>spring.cloud.bus.*</code>
(e.g. <code>spring.cloud.bus.destination</code> is the name of the topic to use

<div class="paragraph">
<p>In distributed tracing the data volumes can be very high so sampling
can be important (you usually don&#8217;t need to export all spans to get a
good picture of what is happening). Spring Cloud Sleuth has a
<code>Sampler</code> strategy that you can implement to take control of the
sampling algorithm. Samplers do not stop span (correlation) ids from
being generated, but they do prevent the tags and events being
attached and exported. By default you get a strategy that continues to
trace if a span is already active, but new ones are always marked as
non-exportable. If all your apps run with this sampler you will see
traces in logs, but not in any remote store. For testing the default
is often enough, and it probably is all you need if you are only using
the logs (e.g. with an ELK aggregator). If you are exporting span data
to Zipkin or Spring Cloud Stream, there is also an <code>AlwaysSampler</code>
that exports everything and a <code>PercentageBasedSampler</code> that samples a
fixed fraction of spans.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice based architecture. Trying to hand configure each client or some form of convention can be very difficult to do and can be very brittle. Consul provides Service Discovery services via an <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/http.html">HTTP API</a> and <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/dns.html">DNS</a>. Spring Cloud Consul leverages the HTTP API for service registration and discovery. This does not prevent non-Spring Cloud applications from leveraging the DNS interface. Consul Agents servers are run in a <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/architecture.html">cluster</a> that communicates via a <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/gossip.html">gossip protocol</a> and uses the <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/consensus.html">Raft consensus protocol</a>.</p>

<h3 id="_registering_with_consul">Registering with Consul</h3>

<p>When a client registers with Consul, it provides meta-data about itself such as host and port, id, name and tags. An HTTP <a href="https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/checks.html">Check</a> is created by default that Consul hits the <code>/health</code> endpoint every 10 seconds. If the health check fails, the service instance is marked as critical.</p>

<p>The health check for a Consul instance defaults to "/health", which is the default locations of a useful endpoint in a Spring Boot Actuator application. You need to change these, even for an Actuator application if you use a non-default context path or servlet path (e.g. <code>server.servletPath=/foo</code>) or management endpoint path (e.g. <code>management.contextPath=/admin</code>). The interval that Consul uses to check the health endpoint may also be configured. "10s" and "1m" represent 10 seconds and 1 minute respectively. Example:</p>

<h4 id="_making_the_consul_instance_id_unique">Making the Consul Instance ID Unique</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default a consul instance is registered with an ID that is equal to its Spring Application Context ID. By default, the Spring Application Context ID is <code>${spring.application.name}:comma,separated,profiles:${server.port}</code>. For most cases, this will allow multiple instances of one service to run on one machine. If further uniqueness is required, Using Spring Cloud you can override this by providing a unique identifier in <code>spring.cloud.consul.discovery.instanceId</code>. For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">application.yml</div>
<div class="content">
<pre>spring:
cloud:
consul:
discovery:
instanceId: ${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${random.value}}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With this metadata, and multiple service instances deployed on localhost, the random value will kick in there to make the instance unique. In Cloudfoundry the <code>spring.application.instance_id</code> will be populated automatically in a Spring Boot Actuator application, so the random value will not be needed.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Consul provides a <a href="https://consul.io/docs/agent/http/kv.html">Key/Value Store</a> for storing configuration and other metadata. Spring Cloud Consul Config is an alternative to the <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config">Config Server and Client</a>. Configuration is loaded into the Spring Environment during the special "bootstrap" phase. Configuration is stored in the <code>/config</code> folder by default. Multiple <code>PropertySource</code> instances are created based on the application&#8217;s name and the active profiles that mimicks the Spring Cloud Config order of resolving properties. For example, an application with the name "testApp" and with the "dev" profile will have the following property sources created:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>config/testApp,dev/
config/testApp/
config/application,dev/
config/application/</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The most specific property source is at the top, with the least specific at the bottom. Properties is the <code>config/application</code> folder are applicable to all applications using consul for configuration. Properties in the <code>config/testApp</code> folder are only available to the instances of the service named "testApp".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Configuration is currently read on startup of the application. Sending a HTTP POST to <code>/refresh</code> will cause the configuration to be reloaded. Watching the key value store (which Consul supports) is not currently possible, but will be a future addition to this project.</p>

behaviour is to retry 6 times with an initial backoff interval of 1000ms and an
exponential multiplier of 1.1 for subsequent backoffs. You can configure these
properties (and others) using <code>spring.cloud.consul.retry.*</code> configuration properties.

and also <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-netflix/blob/master/docs/src/main/asciidoc/spring-cloud-netflix.adoc#spring-cloud-ribbon">Spring <code>RestTemplate</code></a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can also benefit from the Zookeeper Dependency Watchers functionality that lets you control and monitor what is the state of your dependencies and decide what to do with that.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s now go through each part of the dependency one by one. The root property name is <code>spring.cloud.zookeeper.dependencies</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_aliases">Aliases</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Below the root property you have to represent each dependency has by an alias due to the constraints of Ribbon (the application id has to be placed in the URL
thus you can&#8217;t pass any complex path like /foo/bar/name). The alias will be the name that you will use instead of serviceId for <code>DiscoveryClient</code>, <code>Feign</code> or <code>RestTemplate</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the aforementioned examples the aliases are <code>newsletter</code> and <code>mailing</code>. Example of Feign usage with <code>newsletter</code> would be:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>@FeignClient("newsletter")
public interface NewsletterService {
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/newsletter")
String getNewsletters();

<h4 id="_path">Path</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Represented by <code>path</code> yaml property.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Path is the path under which the dependency is registered under Zookeeper. Like presented before Ribbon operates on URLs thus this path is not compliant with its requirement.
That is why Spring Cloud Zookeeper maps the alias to the proper path.</p>

<p>If you know what kind of load balancing strategy has to be applied when calling this particular dependency then you can provide it in the yaml file and it will be automatically applied.
You can choose one of the following load balancing strategies</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>STICKY - once chosen the instance will always be called</p>

<p>If you version your api via the <code>Content-Type</code> header then you don&#8217;t want to add this header to each of your requests. Also if you want to call a new version of the API you don&#8217;t want to
roam around your code to bump up the API version. That&#8217;s why you can provide a <code>contentTypeTemplate</code> with a special <code>$version</code> placeholder. That placeholder will be filled by the value of the
<code>version</code> yaml property. Let&#8217;s take a look at an example.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">

<p>Sometimes each call to a dependency requires setting up of some default headers. In order not to do that in code you can set them up in the yaml file.
Having the following <code>headers</code> section:</p>

<div class="content">
<pre>headers:

<div class="paragraph">
<p>If your application can&#8217;t localize the required dependency during boot time it will throw an exception and the Spring Context will fail to set up.

<p>Zookeeper provides a <a href="http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperOver.html#sc_dataModelNameSpace">hierarchical namespace</a> that allows clients to store arbitrary data, such as configuration data. Spring Cloud Zookeeper Config is an alternative to the <a href="https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-config">Config Server and Client</a>. Configuration is loaded into the Spring Environment during the special "bootstrap" phase. Configuration is stored in the <code>/config</code> namespace by default. Multiple <code>PropertySource</code> instances are created based on the application&#8217;s name and the active profiles that mimicks the Spring Cloud Config order of resolving properties. For example, an application with the name "testApp" and with the "dev" profile will have the following property sources created:</p>
</div>

<p>A Token Relay is where an OAuth2 consumer acts as a Client and
forwards the incoming token to outgoing resource requests. The
consumer can be a pure Client (like an SSO application) or a Resource
Server.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>If your app has a
<a href="http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud.html#netflix-zuul-reverse-proxy">Spring
Cloud Zuul</a> embedded reverse proxy (using <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>) then you
can ask it to forward OAuth2 access tokens downstream to the services
it is proxying. Thus the SSO app above can be enhanced simply like this:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="title">app.groovy</div>
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">@Controller
@EnableOAuth2Sso
@EnableZuulProxy
class Application {
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>and it will (in addition to loggin the user in and grabbing a token)
pass the authentication token downstream to the <code>/proxy/*</code>
services. If those services are implemented with
<code>@EnableOAuth2Resource</code> then they will get a valid token in the
correct header.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>How does it work? The <code>@EnableOAuth2Sso</code> annotation pulls in
<code>spring-cloud-starter-security</code> (which you could do manually in a
traditional app), and that in turn triggers some autoconfiguration for
a <code>ZuulFilter</code>, which itself is activated because Zuul is on the
classpath (via <code>@EnableZuulProxy</code>). The
{github}/tree/master/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/security/oauth2/proxy/OAuth2TokenRelayFilter.java[filter]
just extracts an access token from the currently authenticated user,
and puts it in a request header for the downstream requests.</p>

</div>
<div class="sect3">
<h4 id="_resource_server_token_relay">Resource Server Token Relay</h4>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If your app has <code>@EnableOAuth2Resource</code> and also is a Client (i.e. it
has a <code>spring.oauth2.client.clientId</code>, even if it doesn&#8217;t use it),
then the <code>OAuth2RestOperations</code> that is provided for <code>@Autowired</code>
users by Spring Cloud (it is declared as <code>@Primary</code>) will also forward
tokens. If you don&#8217;t want to forward tokens (and that is a valid
choice, since you might want to act as yourself, rather than the
client that sent you the token), then you only need to create your own
<code>OAuth2RestOperations</code> instead of autowiring the default one. Here&#8217;s
a basic example showing the use of the autowired rest template ("foo.com"
is a Resource Server accepting the same tokens as the surrounding app):</p>

<p>You can control the authorization behaviour downstream of an

<p>In this example the "customers" service gets an OAuth2 token relay,
the "stores" service gets a passthrough (the authorization header is
just passed downstream), and the "recommendations" service has its
authorization header removed. The default behaviour is to do a token
relay if there is a token available, and passthru otherwise.</p>

Spring Cloud Cluster offers a set of primitives for building "cluster"
features into a distributed system. Example are leadership election,
consistent storage of cluster state, global locks and one-time tokens.
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_leader_election">Leader Election</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Leader election allows application to work together with other
applications to coordinate a cluster leadership via a third party system.
Currently we provide integrations with <code>zookeeper</code>, <code>hazelcast</code> and <code>etcd</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>From user perspective election is working via interfaces
<code>org.springframework.cloud.cluster.leader.Candidate</code> and
<code>org.springframework.cloud.cluster.leader.Context</code>. <code>Candidate</code>
contains access to leadership&#8217;s <code>role</code> and <code>id</code> and also have methods
<code>onGranted</code> and <code>onRevoked</code>. These callback methods are useful if
default <code>Candidate</code> implementation is changed.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Leader election is auto-configured if <code>spring-cloud-cluster-autoconfigure</code>
and either <code>spring-cloud-cluster-hazelcast</code>, <code>spring-cloud-cluster-zookeeper</code>
or <code>spring-cloud-cluster-etcd</code> jars are found from a classpath. In
case where both jars are found leader election is created using both
systems. See sections <a href="#spring-cloud-cluster-leaderelection-zookeeper">Zookeeper</a>,
<a href="#spring-cloud-cluster-leaderelection-hazelcast">Hazelcast</a> and
<a href="#spring-cloud-cluster-leaderelection-etcd">Etcd</a> for more
information about a created beans.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Default <code>Candidate</code> created from auto-configuration is
<code>org.springframework.cloud.cluster.leader.DefaultCandidate</code> which
currently only logs granted and revoked events.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If there&#8217;s a need for disable all leader related auto-configuration,
a <code>spring.cloud.cluster.leader.enabled</code> can be set to false which
then allows to do manual configuration even if the jars an on a
classpath. Properties <code>spring.cloud.cluster.leader.id</code> and
<code>spring.cloud.cluster.leader.role</code> can be used to set default
identifier and role.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you are interested to simple get notification of granted and
revoked events one option is to attach event listener into spring
application context. Events <code>OnGrantedEvent</code> and <code>OnRevokedEvent</code> are
sent as spring event objects.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Simply create your own event listener class:</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">class MyEventListener implements ApplicationListener&lt;AbstractLeaderEvent&gt; {

// do something with OnGrantedEvent or OnRevokedEvent
