In Spring Cloud, does micro-services read their configurations from Eureka or it only reads from config server?

I am following this video to learn micro-services.

My questions is: Can micro-services read configuration from config service through Eureka, or they can only read configurations directly from config server ?

I am trying to configure and make a client read its configuration from eureka but with no success.

Solution

  • You can use the following option in your bootstrap.yml

    spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=true

    And you also need to specify the the service id of your config service.

    spring.cloud.config.discovery.serviceId=xxxx

    serviceId is usually the the application name.

    If you do like above, your microservivces will try to find the address of config server via discovery service.
