arturczopek / e-arbiter-config Goto Github PK

It's a repository with yml config files for each Spring microservices.

Because holding configuration in each module separately is confusing and harder to maintain. With this approach we have everything in one place.

Also, Spring Cloud server allows us to change properties in runtime. What does it mean? For example, if we have remote repo for prod app, we can update some values and after that, Spring will update his values, without recompiling! Great, heh?

Currently, application cannot run without this repo. Prod version probably will use remote repo. For development user can sometimes change something locally.

Instruction:

-Download this repository.

-From file env.env copy enviroments and add to your environment. (If you have problem on Windows, write message to Artur)

-Change E_ARB_ROOT_FOLDER env variable value. It should point to your main folder with three projects: e-arbiter, e-arbiter-utils, e-arbiter-config.

If you change something, COMMIT IT, BUT WITHOUT PUSH! Otherwise, yours changes won't be visible for Spring.

If you change something there and you want to add this to master version, create another branch, new pull request, and attach it to proper Trello's ticket. Sometimes changes will be needed!

Sometimes IJ cannot see your env variables. Remember about adding it to your env and to IJ!! Otherwise, IJ can throw some errors and you will be forced to use console (it isn't wrong but debugging is harder...). Suggested plugin: envFile

Download and extract elasticsearch, kibana, logstash.

In file env.env change the environments E_ARB_{option}_RUN where options is type of tool (ES - elasticsearch, KIB - kibana, LOG - logstash) to a directories u have just extract tools.

The log charts can be seen via results. I recommend to setup kibana with columns Time, level, class, longmessage for better visibility. You can add columns from left side panel with label available fields. The columns can be removed by clicking crossroad icon near column names under the main chart.
