Unable to access Spring Boot Actuator "/actuator" endpoint

Question

I am able to access endpoints like http://localhost:8081/health, /status, /env, /metrics, /shutdown but not /actuator or /loginfo endpoints.

Getting below exception.

{"timestamp":1455929182552,"status":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"No message available","path":"/actuator"}

How to acccess http://localhost:8081/actuator endpoint?

Is [spring-boot-starter-actuator](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-enabling.html#production-ready-enabling) in your dependencies? — kryger, Feb 20 '16 at 01:03
Was it resolved? I am also facing same issue. Spring boot version used-1.3.2 — Sam, May 09 '16 at 21:50

As of spring boot version 2.0.1 using below property would work

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=<comma separated endpoints you wish to expose>

You can use * wildcard to expose all actuator endpoints over the web if security isn't your concern.

Also endpoints seems to have moved from previous versions. For ex. if you wish to use beans, you would now have /actuator/beans endpoint.

Just to be sure look at startup logs for such endpoints.

More on endpoints can be found here

Make sure to include the dependency spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure – tiktock Apr 30 '19 at 21:59
When using application.yml instead of application.properties I could not get * to work so I had to list out the various endpoints (available from the link). Thanks. management: endpoints: web: exposure: include: beans,env,health,info – pamcevoy Jun 21 '20 at 23:25

If you type http://localhost:8080/actuator/ yo'll get the list of endpoints that has been exposed by default (3 endpoint) so in order to expose all your endpoint what you have to add in your application.properties/yml file:

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

It looks like you mapped your Actuator endpoints to the base path /. Check if you have the following line in your configuration:

management.endpoints.web.base-path=/

So, if you omit this line, then you will access all endpoints under actuator path, e.g.:

http://localhost:8081/actuator/health

and the actuator itself will become accessible here:

http://localhost:8081/actuator

i was facing same problem, after spending hours, could resolve. first thing we need to set below property to *

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
management.endpoints.enabled-by-default=false

and we need to provide the below property port, instead on server.port in the URL.

management.server.port=9000

example:

http://localhost:9000/actuator/loggers/{package}
http://localhost:9000/actuator/health

This is tried in a micro-service with spring boot 2.1.13, with below properties and worked fine.

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
management.endpoint.loggers.enabled=true
management.endpoint.restart.enabled=true

as of springboot 2.0.5.RELEASE the health check endpoint is http://hostname:portnumber/applicationroot/actuator/health

also check if you have added the dependency

Actuator endpoints moved in Spring Boot 2.0.0, so you need to check /application/health.

Gradle:

compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator')
springBootVersion = '2.0.0.M3'*

Edit the build.gradle file and change the Boot version to 1.5.4.RELEASE. Run the app.

curl -i localhost:8080/health

HTTP/1.1 200
X-Application-Context: application

So I put the property in the applicaiton.properties

management.security.enabled=false

And it will worked.

UPDATE: management.security.enabled is now deprecated in spring boot 2, thanks @Abdelghani Roussi

Make sure that those 'sensitive' endpoints are enabled. This doc describes how to enable all sensitive endpoints or individual ones. It sounds like you have certain sensitive endpoints enabled (like shutdown) but not others (like actuator).

To enable all sensitive endpoints:

endpoints.sensitive=true

To enable actuator and logfile individually:

endpoints.actuator.enabled=true
endpoints.logfile.enabled=true

First you should make sure you have the following dependencies in your pom.xml

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

Then you should have the following configuration in your application.yml

 management:
      endpoint:
        health:
          enabled: true
          show-details: always
      endpoints:
        web:
          exposure:
            include: '*'
        jmx:
          exposure:
            include: '*'

You can customize the information in the info enpoit with the following configuration inside the application.yml

info:
    app:
        name: @project.name@
        description: @project.description@
        version: @project.version@
        encoding: @project.build.sourceEncoding@
        java:
            version: @java.version@

After That, you can go to the url localhost:8080 and see the list of endpoints as follows:

thanks, for me the only way to make it work was to add also the spring-boot-starter-web. Found nowhere else this info :) — Matteo, Mar 15 '22 at 16:30

spring boot 1.5.6

actuator Provides a hypermedia-based “discovery page” for the other endpoints. Requires Spring HATEOAS to be on the classpath.

please see: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.5.6.RELEASE/reference/html/production-ready-endpoints.html

I always prefer to provide context path with the base URL of application. Now to configure actuator we should include below dependency into our pom.xml

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

let it use the default version which is being beared by Spring boot version. Put below properties into your application.properties

server.servlet.contextPath=/<app-name>
server.port=8080

management.endpoint.metrics.enabled=true
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
management.endpoint.prometheus.enabled=true
management.metrics.export.prometheus.enabled=true
management.security.enabled=false
management.health.mongo.enabled=false
management.health.redis.enabled=false
management.health.rabbit.enabled=false
management.endpoint.health.show-details=always

#/metrics endpoint configuration
endpoints.metrics.id=metrics
endpoints.metrics.sensitive=false
endpoints.metrics.enabled=true

#/health endpoint configuration (Comment when you are using customized health check)
endpoints.health.id=health
endpoints.health.sensitive=false
endpoints.health.enabled=true

info.app.name=@project.name@
info.app.description=@project.description@
info.app.version=@project.version@
info.app.encoding=@project.build.sourceEncoding@
info.app.java.version=@java.version@

After above configuration once you start your server , you can easily check the metrics as below http calls-

 # curl http://localhost:8080/myapp/actuator/metrics
 {
  "names": ["jvm.buffer.memory.used", "jvm.gc.memory.allocated", 
  "jvm.memory.committed", "jvm.memory.used", "http.server.requests", 
  "jvm.gc.max.data.size", "logback.events", "system.cpu.count", 
  "jvm.memory.max", "jvm.buffer.total.capacity", "jvm.buffer.count", 
  "process.files.max", "jvm.threads.daemon", "process.start.time", 
  "jvm.gc.live.data.size", "process.files.open", "process.cpu.usage", 
  "process.uptime", "system.load.average.1m", "jvm.gc.pause", 
  "system.cpu.usage", "jvm.threads.live", "jvm.classes.loaded", 
  "jvm.classes.unloaded", "jvm.threads.peak", "jvm.gc.memory.promoted"]
}

For those, who do not use anything in the Spring Boot like I do (I use Spring Integration IP and listen for packets): you still need the following dependency for /actuator to work (regardless of if it'll be running on the server.port or management.server.port):

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>

Without this dependency, the actuator will not appear in the startup log at all.

You do not need to use Spring Security though unless you want to secure endpoints.

Sergio Sánchez Sánchez pointed this out in an answer above, but in my opinion it was not clear enough.
