Spring-boot-admin: No option to update env or refresh properties.

[agamgupta6]

Hi,

I am using spring-boot-admin this is my pom for server:

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>

        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.cloud/spring-cloud-starter -->

            <version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

In the client I have this:

<dependency>
            <groupId>de.codecentric</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-admin-starter-client</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.6</version>
        </dependency>

I have enabled all actuator endpoint and made all security to false:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-config-server</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
management.endpoint.health.show-details=always



md5-3ee1a8223a9bef22d808311ac7176ccf



http.csrf().disable();
http.authorizeRequests()
         .antMatchers("/actuator/**") 
         .permitAll()
         .anyRequest()
         .authenticated()
         .and()
         .oauth2Login()
         .userInfoEndpoint()
         .oidcUserService(userService)

I am able to refresh properties from Postman by sending post request to /actuator refresh. But I do not see any option on spring-boot-admin page to change and refresh the configuration property.
Is is supported? Did I miss any configuration?

If you have the spring-cloud-common on your classpath, the /env endpoint supports post request and the /refresh endpoint is available - then SBA will show you an environment manager section on the environment page which allows you to update the spring property as well as trigger a refresh of the refresh-scoped beans.

[agamgupta6]

Well .. I just checked and I do have spring-cloud-common on my classpath. Below is screen shot

[agamgupta6]

above screen shot is for my client app. Even SBA also have spring-cloud-commons on class path but I can not see any option of "environment manager".

[agamgupta6]

I found the problem. I was using external configuration and in one of such file "app.cors" was enabled which was preventing the Environment Manager to be displayed.

same issue but after upgraded springboot/springcloud version.
For people that have the same thing, the issue reference : https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/20509 and https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-commons/issues/681
