44. Addressing an Instance
Each instance of the application has a service ID, whose value can be set with spring.cloud.bus.id and whose value is expected to be a colon-separated list of identifiers, in order from least specific to most specific. The default value is constructed from the environment as a combination of the spring.application.name and server.port (or spring.application.index, if set). The default value of the ID is constructed in the form of app:index:id, where:
appis thevcap.application.name, if it exists, orspring.application.nameindexis thevcap.application.instance_index, if it exists,spring.application.index,local.server.port,server.port, or0(in that order).idis thevcap.application.instance_id, if it exists, or a random value.
The HTTP endpoints accept a “destination” path parameter, such as /bus-refresh/customers:9000, where destination is a service ID. If the ID is owned by an instance on the bus, it processes the message, and all other instances ignore it.
