Spring boot Get properties from consul server - spring

Question

I have a spring boot application and I would like to get properties that I have on a consul agent.
#EnableDiscoveryClient
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages={"com.commons"})
public class MainAppProxy implements CommandLineRunner {
#Value("${proxy.endpoint}")
private String endpointAddress;
My application.properties is under src/main/resources
spring.application.name=SOAPProxy
spring.cloud.consul.host=http://10.0.1.241
spring.cloud.consul.port=8500
spring.cloud.config.discovery.enabled=false
in pom.xml I have the following config (short version)
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>Camden.SR5</version>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
The properties are stored on consul in this format:
Business/SOAPProxy/proxy.endpoint
When the application boots, it seems that it finds consul but it cannot get the values as it could before trying consul #Value("${proxy.endpoint}")
How can I get the properties on consul?

You can use three way to load configuration from consul
key/value
yaml
file
I used in yaml to load configuration.
This is my bootstrap.yml file (you can use .property file also)
spring:
application:
name: SOAPProxy
---
spring:
profiles: default
cloud:
consul:
config:
data-key: data
prefix: config
format: yaml
host: localhost
port: 8500
discovery:
prefer-ip-address: true
my boot app Annotate like below
#EnableDiscoveryClient
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootConsulApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringBootConsulApplication.class, args);
}
}
maven dependancy add like this
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-consul-config</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-consul-discovery</artifactId>
</dependency>
this is configuration of consul agent key/value
now in startup all configuration load to the application
