spring cloud consul high cpu in a spring boot application

Question

I setup a Spring boot application with @EnableDiscoveryClient and using Consul as the cloud provider. I noticed that this generates high cpu consumption due to ConsulCatalogWatch.catalogServicesWatch . Looking at the code, I noticed that the annotation

@Scheduled(fixedDelayString = "${spring.cloud.consul.discovery.catalogServicesWatchDelay:10}")

will cause this method to be call at a very high rate. Does anyone have met this and am I missing something ?

Answer 1

As a workaround, set spring.cloud.consul.discovery.catalogServicesWatchDelay=30000 .

Fixed via issue 94 .
