Multiple ConfigurationKey for Consul Store KV

[Stronhold]

I would like to know if there can be multiple configuration keys to access different configuration files in KV Store or if I can match them using a pattern like it is done in issue 296

Hi @Stronhold please see docs here this might help!

[Stronhold]

Hi,

I checked that before. As i Saw, there would be only one configurationkey at the same time or am I wrong?

Thanks in advance

[TomPallister]

@Stronhold you can one key per deployment of Ocelot. You cannot merge multiple configurations from Consul at the moment. If you would like to implement this I can support you! 😄

[Stronhold]

That was the point! Any help would be appreciated.
Morover, i would like yo know if when we use the administration API, the config.json file, could be overwritten? As far as I have tested, this does not happen

Thanks in advance!

[TomPallister]

@Stronhold are you using admin api with consul storing your configuration? If so the json file is not changed. If you are not using consul then it will be changed.

[Stronhold]

Nope. The idea would be using multiple configurationkey and use consul to have the routes. Through the administration API chance the config.json.

Any support to have multiple configurationkey is appreciated :)

[TomPallister]

Sorry @Stronhold I am very confused by what it is you want to implement. Please could you add as much detail as possible so I can understand.

[Stronhold]

I want to be able to have múltiple configurationkey to access to different consul configurations and merge them

[TomPallister]

this feature implement config merging for consul, same logic we use for file merging but applied to consul. put abstraction around logic so we can use same for both concrete implementations.

This might be slightly off topic but here goes. Is it possible via Ocelot to read a consul value from Consul's Key/Value store? Or is the only value one may read from Consul the configuration ("InternalConfiguration" or set by "GlobalConfiguration/ConfigurationKey"?)

@ggnaegi What is your opinion on this crazy idea with the Consul config? 😄

I think it would be a nice addition, at least provide a custom key for the ocelot config stored in key/value store.

But then merge config... Like appsettings?

So... We have new AddOcelot method which was not available in 2018 😄 and it takes FileConfiguration object, see below

• public static IConfigurationBuilder AddOcelot(this IConfigurationBuilder builder, FileConfiguration fileConfiguration)
• Link: ConfigurationBuilderExtensions.AddOcelot

The author (anyone) can save config files and read them in/from any persistent storage and apply this reading and merging in app startup logic...
Tom was right, the author wants too much! 🤣 He should provide clear user scenario first... If Consul will be persistent storage OK... Let's develop this. I hope, author will return to us with a PR, otherwise we will loose our time for the next rare user case. 😠

@Stronhold Dear Sergio!
Your request confuses all parties including Tom.
What is your user scenario?

Also, I see that your repos have no Ocelot forked repo.
So, forked Ocelot repo doesn't exist in your account!
I would say you violated Ocelot development process which says: discuss -> issue -> PR.
But working on an issue means you have to fork Ocelot repo.
🆗 First fork, then request...

@Stronhold Hi! And what's up, man?
