Use bus-refresh endpoint if enabled / Allow refresh on multiple instances

[ditdajou]

Based on the current SBA front-end design, we can click on an instance and refresh the context of a particular property to our liking.

However, when there are too many instances (imagine there are 30 of them), we need to manually refresh the property in each instance and repeating it for 30 times can be cumbersome.

I would like to know if Spring Boot Admin supports the property propagation for all other instances of the same name if a property is refreshed on one instance, i.e. through "actuator/bus-refresh". Else, I would like this to be a feature request.

If the bus-refresh JMX Endpoint is enabled for your Admin Server, you should be able to achieve this using the JVM/JMX page, under the org.springframework.boot domain and executing the busRefresh or busRefreshWithDestination operations.

Imho there are two (additive?) solutions to this:

• Trigger the refresh endpoint on all instances with the same name (like for the loggers)
• Trigger the bus-refresh endpoint if available

Yes ,we can trigger it manually using cURL , but we would like to trigger it on Spring Boot Admin Web UI, currently the button "Refresh Context" will only trigger actuator/refresh.

If there is a new button that can trigger actuator/bus-refresh , will be more convenient to people especially when they don't know how to trigger at JVM page / Fire the request themselves.

Before I discovered SBA I had to write a bespoke service to call the /actuator/refresh endpoint on all pod for a k8s service. For context we have over 70 pods for Spring Gateway with routes in Spring Config server. Takes over 20 minutes to redeploy but only 23 seconds to refresh routes via /actuator/refresh on all the pods. Would be nice if I could decomm that service if SBA adds that feature.

You already have all the instances so just need to call each endpoint for each pod
