Spring Cloud Config Settings to disable ConfigServer HealthIndicator failed.

Hi spring cloud team,

When I enable spring.cloud.config.server.health.enabled, the /health will always return "DOWN"(Same Issue), So I want to disable the ConfigServer HealthIndicatior by setting the spring.cloud.config.server.health.enabled=false. But it turned out to be no use and the application still check the status of ConfigServer. I am using eureka, config server with git backend. Spring boot 1.4.1, spring-cloud-starter-config:1.1.3.RELEASE.

Regards, Yuliang

those config values are for config server, not for config client. You should use health.config.enabled=false

With configuration health.config.enabled=false, it really worked. Thanks. In spring boot, to turn off one of the default HealthIndicator, like db, hystrix, the settings is like:

management:
  health:
    db:
      enabled: false
    refresh:
      enabled: false

So could you please to modify this config health.config.enabled to the way like setting the default HealthIndicator? I think that would be better. @spencergibb

Despite setting health.config.enabled=false in my application.properties, org.springframework.cloud.health.RefreshScopeHealthIndicator was still getting called...

Alas, I finally discovered in spring-cloud-context-2.1.3.RELEASE.jar the existence of these 2 files:

spring-configuration-metadata.json

{
  "name": "management.health.refresh.enabled",
  "type": "java.lang.Boolean",
  "description": "Enable the health endpoint for the refresh scope.",
  "defaultValue": true
},

additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json

    {
        "name": "management.health.refresh.enabled",
        "type": "java.lang.Boolean",
        "description": "Enable the health endpoint for the refresh scope.",
        "defaultValue": true
    }

So basically the prop name we can see everywhere is erroneous, it's actually management.health.refresh.enabled NOT health.config.enabled.

e.g. official doc @ https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-config/reference/html/#_health_indicator_2

Also found an answer from 2017 telling the correct properties: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46775306 So probably this has been "fixed" by the time...
