What is the default config file name for hystrix

There are lots of setting for hystrix listed in https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix/wiki/Configuration. But I didn't find in the document what is the default properties file name that will be loaded by hystrix/archaius by default.

My question is, is there a default properties file? If not, how can I specifiy one?

Solution

  • If you look at Getting Started page in Archaius wiki, you will find this explanation:

    There are two ways to get Archaius working out of the box by using a local configuration file to feed dynamic properties to your application.

    • By default, Archaius will look for a file named “config.properties” on the application’s classpath and read its content as configuration properties. The file can be also in a jar file’s root directory.
    • In addition, you can define a system property archaius.configurationSource.additionalUrls that contains the URL path to a local configuration file.
