I'm wondering if this is a use case for Tamaya Server? Or would you expect it inline when reading configuration (e.g. yaml or json). I don't think the properties syntax would help much here.
Basically, I share your concerns. Right now, to achieve the documentation piece my team maintains a large confluence page with all of the configuration settings, the defaults, description of where used. Its very useful, but hard to follow. Metrics is less of a concern, since we cache configuration on start up rather than at runtime. John On Fri, Apr 22, 2016 at 12:52 PM Oliver B.
