Environmentalization example

Detailed example that illustrates different aspects of the environmentalization capability supported by the YAML configuration.

1 minute read

This example illustrates the following aspects of the environmentalization:

  • Injection of integer / long / string
  • Partial strings (url field)
  • System environment variable with and without default value
  • Encrypted passwords (for more information on how to encrypt for YAML configuration please refer the dedicated chapter “CLI Tools”)
  • Conservation of other environmentalization methods (selector)
  • An unresolved placeholder

We assume:

  • ES_DB_PASSWORD is set with a value encrypted by a passphrase
  • ES_DB_HOST is not set
