Additional configuration

This section includes additional settings for customizing defaults and adding contextual information to your Flamingock setup.

Setting	Purpose	Default
metadata	Attach tags and labels for audit tracking	empty map
enabled	Globally enable/disable Flamingock	true

note

These options can currently be defined using the Flamingock builder. Support for config file (outside Spring Boot) will be added in a future release

Metadata

Flamingock provides a Metadata object - which is a flexible Map<String, Object> that allows you to attach custom information to your Flamingock process.

The metadata is stored as part of the audit log, and can be used for labeling, traceability, and future reporting.

Use cases

You can use metadata to:

• Tag executions by team, service, or region
• Include a deployment ID, build number, or triggering user
• Attach comments or labels for easier traceability

Example

YAML

metadata:
  owner: platform-team
  triggeredBy: ci-cd-pipeline
  notes: initial deployment setup

Builder

Map<String, Object> metadata = new HashMap<>();
metadata.put("owner", "platform-team");
metadata.put("triggeredBy", "ci-cd-pipeline");

Flamingock.builder()
.setMetadata(metadata)
...

Disable flamingock process

This global toggle allows you to enable or disable Flamingock.

• If set to false, Flamingock will not run
• A log message will appear in the application logs, indicating that Flamingock is disabled
• No changes will be applied and no audit entries will be created

note

Useful in test environments, local runs, or cases where you want to conditionally skip changes.

Example

YAML

enabled: false

Builder

Flamingock.builder()
  .setEnabled(false)
