Refresh

The Steeltoe Refresh endpoint can be used to cause the applications configuration to be reloaded and return the new values and keys currently in use in your application. The endpoint reloads the configuration using the applications IConfigurationRoot.

Configure Settings

The following table describes the settings that you can apply to the endpoint:

Key	Description	Default
id	The ID of the refresh endpoint	refresh
enabled	Whether to enable the refresh management endpoint	true

Note: Each setting above must be prefixed with management:endpoints:refresh.

Enable HTTP Access

The default path to the Refresh endpoint is computed by combining the global path prefix setting together with the id setting from above. The default path is /actuator/refresh.

The coding steps you take to enable HTTP access to the Refresh endpoint differs depending on the type of .NET application your are developing. The sections which follow describe the steps needed for each of the supported application types.

ASP.NET Core App

To add the Refresh actuator to the service container, use the AddRefreshActuator() extension method from EndpointServiceCollectionExtensions.

To add the Refresh actuator middleware to the ASP.NET Core pipeline, use the UseRefreshActuator() extension method from EndpointApplicationBuilderExtensions.

ASP.NET 4.x App

To add the Refresh actuator endpoint, use the UseRefreshActuator() method from ActuatorConfigurator.

ASP.NET OWIN App

To add the Refresh actuator middleware to the ASP.NET OWIN pipeline, use the UseRefreshActuator() extension method from RefreshEndpointAppBuilderExtensions.
