I wanted to fetch properties from two git repos. one is https://[email protected]/share.git - which will have a property file contains some common key value pair and the other one is https://[email protected]/service.git - it will have property files of all the micro services.
While I am deploying the service only one yml file (which is in https://[email protected]/share.git repo) is read by the config server. What I am missing? How to read the property file from another repo i.e. https://[email protected]/service.git too?
I wanted to deploy the service in PCF. So I configured the config-server in PCF with the following json.
{
"count": 1,
"git": {
"label": "feature",
"uri": "https://[email protected]/share.git",
"username": "username",
"password": "password",
"repos": {
"configserver": {
"password": "password",
"label": "feature",
"uri": "https://[email protected]/service.git"
"username": "username"
}
}
}
}
Name of my service is LogDemo and spring profile is active. I have created two yml files and placed in the corresponding repo. (I have given same name two both the files like LogDemo-active.yml). While I am deploying the service only one yml file (which is in https://[email protected]/share.git repo) is read by the config server. /env is giving me the following:
{
"profiles": [
"active",
"cloud"
],
"server.ports": {
"local.server.port": 8080
},
"configService:configClient": {
"config.client.version": "234e59d4a9f80f035f00fdf07e6f9f16e5560a55"
},
"configService:https://[email protected]/share.git/LogDemo-active.yml": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2"
},

Below is my bootstrap.yml
spring:
application:
name: LogDemo
mvc:
view:
prefix: /
suffix: .jsp
Here is my manifest file
---
inherit: baseManifest.yml
applications:
- name: LogDemo
host: LogDemo
env:
LOG_LEVEL: INFO
spring.profiles.active: active
TZ: America/New_York
memory: 1024M
domain: my.domain.com
services:
- config-server-comp
When using multiple repos, the repos that will be applied depend on the pattern's defined for those repos. The default pattern is <repo-name>/*. Thus changing the repo name to LogDemo will activate the repo for your app, because the app name, spring.application.name, is LogDemo.
If one or more patterns match, then the repo for the matched patterns will be used. If no pattern matches then the default is used.
Full details are described in the docs here.
If you don't need or want the pattern matching feature, you can use the [composite backend]( https://docs.pivotal.io/spring-cloud-services/2-0/common/config-server/composite-backends.html). The composite backend allows you to define multiple Git repositories. See the first config example here.
