Cannot enable /monitor endpoint for spring-cloud-b

Question

I have configured spring cloud config to read properties from a git repository.With the current implementation if there is a change in the configuration, if post to /refresh on my client I am able to see the updated properties. Now, I would like to use the spring-cloud-bus-monitor to detect changes in my git repo and automatically refresh the properties in my client endpoints. Even after adding spring-cloud-config-monitor in the dependencies - the /monitor endpoint is not enabled, and therefore even when there are changes in the config properties in the config server - nothing gets refreshed.

I have a RabbitMQ server running locally as well. Appreciate any pointers on how to get the /monitor enabled to push notifications to all the clients in the bus

Answer 1

You don't say what version you are using, it's only available in Brixton (the latest is M5). Remove <scope>test</scope>.

It should be:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-config-monitor</artifactId>
</dependency>

spring-cloud-config-monitor is not required in the client.

Monitor is meant to be used by git hosting services webhooks. If you're using a filesystem you have to use the native config server profile. See here for more information.
