<p>I am trying to deploy spring cloud dataflow in Rancher. I am using the yaml files for deploying as mentioned in <a href="https://dataflow.spring.io/docs/installation/kubernetes/kubectl/#deploy-skipper" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> link.</p>
<p>After deploying skipper server in Rancher. I am getting the following warning messages in logs:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Fetching config from server at : http://localhost:8888
2020-07-30 06:34:16.323 INFO 1 --- [nio-7577-exec-2] c.c.c.ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator : Connect Timeout Exception on Url - http://localhost:8888. Will be trying the next url if available 2020-07-30 06:34:16.323 WARN 1 --- [nio-7577-exec-2] c.c.c.ConfigServicePropertySourceLocator :</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Could not locate PropertySource: I/O error on GET request for &quot;http://localhost:8888//kubernetes&quot;: Connection refused (Connection refused); nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I am assuming the load balancer in Rancher is not getting provisioned because of this warning.</p>

<p>The connection errors you see in your case can be ignored as it shouldn't fail to start the server (if it couldn't connect to Spring Cloud Config server - as it goes with the default settings).</p>
<p>You can also disable the spring cloud config by setting <code>spring.cloud.config.enabled</code> to <code>false</code>.</p>
