I have used a eureka client (
https://www.npmjs.com/package/eureka-js-client) to register to my Eureka server. I can see that my client is successfully registered on the Server on eureka's homepage (eurekaIP:port/eureka).
Now when I send a request to Zuul, doesn't the Ribbon client in Zuul, automatically figure out to which instance the request should be forwarded? In my case there is only one instance for now, so it should forward to that instance. However I see that Zuul/Ribbon is not forwarding the request to my instance.
Are there are any properties file which I have to change (Zuul's eureka-client.properties file for example), to let it know that the particular service instance exists? Also I am quite confused what the value of the VIP Address must be when a client registers with Eureka server. Is the app name is the endpoint at which Zuul sends the request to?
