Common application properties

Appendix A: Common application properties

Various properties can be specified inside your application.properties file, inside your application.yml file, or as command line switches. This appendix provides a list of common Spring Cloud Cloud Foundry properties and references to the underlying classes that consume them.

Property contributions can come from additional jar files on your classpath, so you should not consider this an exhaustive list. Also, you can define your own properties.

Name Default Description

Name	Default	Description
spring.cloud.cloudfoundry.discovery.default-server-port	80	Port to use when no port is defined by ribbon.
spring.cloud.cloudfoundry.discovery.enabled	true	Flag to indicate that discovery is enabled.
