Answer 1

Anyone else facing this issue, please make sure the followings:

1. Your controller is annotated with @RefreshScope

2. Spring boot actuator is added into your dependency, as it is the module which actually provides these endpoints:

   org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-actuator

3. Refresh endpoint has been updated to:

   http://{ip_address}:{port}/actuator/refresh

4. Refresh endpoint isn't enabled by default. You have to enable it explicitly in the bootstrap.properties file by adding the following line:

   management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

I have enabled all the endpoints, while you can just enable the specific endpoints as well.
