Spring Cloud Config How to prevent Config Server to be shutdown when it cann't fetch remote git?

Spring Cloud Version: Greenwich.SR5

Issue: Our spring cloud server enables composite environment repositories. We found when remote git server is down our config server goes down. But we do set git.basedir to have a local fallback.

Here are the config, the native repository is only used for local debugging purpose, it's empty.

spring:
  application:
    name: gateway
  profiles:
    active: composite
  cloud:
    config:
      server:
        composite:
          - type: native
            search-locations: file:///${user.dir}/config-local
          - type: git
            uri: ssh://git@abc.example.com/foo/config.git
            basedir: ${user.dir}/config-repo

The exceptions are:

2020-08-08 17:16:04.165  WARN [gateway,,,] org.springframework.cloud.config.server.environment.JGitEnvironmentRepository : Could not fetch remote for master remote: ssh://git@abc.example.com/foo/config.git

Question: If the health indicator of config server is DOWN, will config server be shutdown? How to prevent it to be shutdown when remote git repository is down?

Thank you.

That shouldn't be the case. Can you update to Hoxton.SR7 and try again?
