spring cloud config server don't use profile - spring

Question

I use:
<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>Brixton.SR6</version>
in my application.properties I have put
spring.profiles.active= prod
spring.application.name= FunctionalControl
I can see on the log :
2016-10-20 17:58:17.900 INFO c.o.l.f.Application - The following profiles are active: prod
But if I use tcpdump I can see than despite does a GET /FunctionalControl/prod
on my spring.cloud.config server It does GET /FunctionalControl/default

So I never manage to use FunctionalControl-prod.properties from my git repo :-(

Answer 1

I found myself the solution and share it with everybody.
The active profile for config server is taken in consideration only if it is put into bootstrap.properties (or .yaml) not in application.properties
file bootstrap.properties:
spring.profiles.active= prod
spring.application.name= FunctionalControl
I add this file in my project and then it works fine as you can see on this tcpdump

Answer 2

You need to define the active profile for your config client application (in your case "FunctionalControl"). There are multiple ways to do that.
E.g. you can add the following to your client's bootstrap.properties file
spring.profiles.active=prod
or e.g. start you config client application via
mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=prod
Either way, your client server application doesn't need any active profile. It will server whatever file is available in your git repo.
