Refresh

You can use the Steeltoe refresh endpoint to cause the application's configuration to be reloaded and return the new values and keys currently in use in your application. The endpoint reloads the configuration by using the application's 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

Each setting 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 described in the preceding section. The default path is /actuator/refresh.

See the HTTP Access section to see the overall steps required to enable HTTP access to endpoints in an ASP.NET Core application.

To add the actuator to the service container and map its route, use the AddRefreshActuator extension method from ManagementHostBuilderExtensions.

Alternatively, first, add the refresh actuator to the service container, using the AddRefreshActuator() extension method from EndpointServiceCollectionExtensions.

Then, add the refresh actuator middleware to the ASP.NET Core pipeline, use the Map<RefreshEndpoint>() extension method from ActuatorRouteBuilderExtensions.
