I have a running Springboot application which serves the URL http://localhost:8081/topics and returns me JSON response as expected.

I added actuator dependency <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency>

as suggested in tutorial

But when I hit http://localhost:8081/health it does not give expected result. It says

{ "timestamp": 1497952368055, "status": 404, "error": "Not Found", "message": "No message available", "path": "/health" }

Spring boot version is 1.5.4.RELEASE. And Java 1.8 What additional settings do I need to do ?

In Spring Boot 2.0.0 you have to use /actuator/health and in the application.properties file add the following line:

management.endpoint.health.show-details=always

Do the following steps : -

  1. Change the scope of actuator dependency from test to compile

  2. Instead of using /health use /actuator/health

  3. If you want to see details of the health status then addmanagement.endpoint.health.show-details=always in the application.properties file.

Add Maven dependency

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

Application.properties

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include= "*" include all endpoints on actuator or management.endpoints.web.exposure.include= health if need only health endpoint

In your dependency you have declared

<scope>test</scope>

It means that

test

This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution phases.

If you want it available for normal use of the application remove <scope>test</scope> or change it to <scope>compile</scope>

  • Also, you need to disable spring security for some actuator endpoints. – visrahane Jul 26 '18 at 21:00

    Actuator health checks have now moved to the endpoint /actuator/health. See https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-consul/issues/345 – srgsanky Aug 19 '18 at 22:32

Maven dependency

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

server.port = 9292
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=env,health,metrics
