How to fix no instance available for micro service using ribbon client

Question

I am doing client side load balancing using ribbon client. i am implementing micro services spring boot 2.2.6.RELEASE. I have CHAT-BOOK and USER-APP two micro services. I have added required dependencies (spring-boot-starter-web) in CHAT-BOOK (spring-boot-starter-web, spring-cloud-starter-netflix-ribbon) USER-APP micro service in pom.xml .

CHAT-BOOK microservice:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/chatbook")
public class ChatbookController {

    @Value("${server.port}")
    private String port;

    @GetMapping("/chatnow")
    public String chat() {
        return "application up on port: " + port;
    }
}

USER-APP microservice:

I have added below properties in application.properties.

CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.listOfServers=localhost:8081,localhost:8082,localhost:8083

CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.eureka.enabled=false
server.port=9090

UserAppApplication class:

@SpringBootApplication

@RibbonClient(name = "CHAT-BOOK", configuration = RibbonConfiguration.class)

public class UserAppApplication {


    @Bean
    @LoadBalanced
    public RestTemplate getTemplate() {
        return new RestTemplate();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(UserAppApplication.class, args);
    }

}

RibbonConfiguration.java

public class RibbonConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    IClientConfig ribbonClient;

    @Bean
    public IPing ping(IClientConfig ribbonClient) {
        return new PingUrl();
    }

    @Bean
    public IRule rule(IClientConfig ribbonClient) {
        return new AvailabilityFilteringRule();
    }
}


UserContoller.java 

@RestController
public class UserContoller {

    @Autowired
    private RestTemplate template;

    @GetMapping("/invoke")
    public String invokeChatbook() {
        String url = "http://CHAT-BOOK/chatbook/chatnow";
        return template.getForObject(url, String.class);
    }

}

Could any one suggest me how to resolve this is above issues.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

looks like the services not resolved through eureka. please check if those are registerd in eureka, and also check if eureka is not disabled by below properties

CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.eureka.enabled=false

if you are not using eureka then set below properties

    CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.eureka.enabled=false
    CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.NIWSServerListClassName=com.netflix.loadbalancer.ConfigurationBasedServerList
    CHAT-BOOK.ribbon.listOfServers=http://localhost:9999/

Answer 2

Try removing the @LoadBalanced annotation to fix Error2.

Ribbon with Spring Cloud and Eureka: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for Samarths-MacBook-Pro.local

Ribbon with Spring Cloud and Eureka java.lang.IllegalStateException: No instances available for localhost

Answer 3

Since you have specified the strategy as PingUrl you need to add a @RequestMapping for "/" in your service, so that Ribbon can ping to know the availability of the instances:

@RequestMapping(value = "/")
      public String home() {
        return "home";
      }
