Description

http://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-consul/spring-cloud-consul.html says that spring.cloud.consul.host and spring.cloud.consul.port should be changed in application.yml. This is wrong - it only works if it is set in bootstrap.properties. I did not try .yml but assume it is the same.

Research direction

Start with the linked Spring Cloud Consul documentation and compare the guidance for spring.cloud.consul.host and spring.cloud.consul.port with the different Consul starters. Verify whether bootstrap.properties and bootstrap.yml are required, then update the relevant documentation so the configuration location and starter behavior are clear.
