Is there a way to get unversioned app name in SCDF 2.9.X using skipper 2.8.x in CloudFoundry? With the current deployment in PCF, everytime we update/re-deploy a stream Skipper adds a -v#. This while great for blue/green sort of deployment, brings some challenge w.r.t monitoring. Is there a way to get consistent app name when we do a deployment using skipper 2.8.X? In some cases when we re-deploy the same stream, it increments the version number and this is a hassle.

The naming of the deployed applications coincide with internal versioning of streams.

Can you describe how this is a hassle? We may be able to find a solution to your problem.

  • Hi @Corneil, We monitor application logs and app health using splunk and with each deployment, when the version number changes, it becomes a hassle for monitoring. Also during deployment, if some of the apps do not start due to any issues, then we have to re-deploy part of the stream. At that point some apps within the sub-stream will have different versions to the apps that were successfully deployed. If there is a consistent app name in CloudFoundry that will help immensely. We are trying to migrate all our streams from 1.7.X to 2.9.X. So consistency will make our migration much more easier. – Aravind1986 Dec 13 '22 at 16:47
  • The metrics tags described here https://dataflow.spring.io/docs/feature-guides/streams/monitoring/ always remain the same. – Corneil du Plessis Dec 15 '22 at 14:41
  • Hi @Corneil, we have to have consistent app name in PCF for consistent monitoring. We are using splunk for our monitoring and that depends on the cloud foundry app name. – Aravind1986 Dec 29 '22 at 18:13
