3. Addressing an Instance
Each instance of the application has a service ID, whose value can be set with
spring.cloud.bus.id
and whose value is expected to be a colon-separated list of
identifiers, in order from least specific to most specific. The default value is
constructed from the environment as a combination of the spring.application.name
and
server.port
(or spring.application.index
, if set). The default value of the ID is
constructed in the form of app:index:id
, where:
-
app
is thevcap.application.name
, if it exists, orspring.application.name
-
index
is thevcap.application.instance_index
, if it exists,spring.application.index
,local.server.port
,server.port
, or0
(in that order). -
id
is thevcap.application.instance_id
, if it exists, or a random value.
The HTTP endpoints accept a “destination” path parameter, such as
/busrefresh/customers:9000
, where destination
is a service ID. If the ID
is owned by an instance on the bus, it processes the message, and all other instances
ignore it.
