|
|
== Endpoints
|
|
Actuator endpoints let you monitor and interact with your application.
|
|
Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and lets you add your own.
|
|
For example, the `health` endpoint provides basic application health information.
|
|
|
|
You can <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.enabling, enable or disable>> each individual endpoint and <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.exposing, expose them (make them remotely accessible) over HTTP or JMX>>.
|
|
An endpoint is considered to be available when it is both enabled and exposed.
|
|
The built-in endpoints are auto-configured only when they are available.
|
|
Most applications choose exposure over HTTP, where the ID of the endpoint and a prefix of `/actuator` is mapped to a URL.
|
|
For example, by default, the `health` endpoint is mapped to `/actuator/health`.
|
|
|
|
TIP: To learn more about the Actuator's endpoints and their request and response formats, see the separate API documentation ({spring-boot-actuator-restapi-docs}[HTML] or {spring-boot-actuator-restapi-pdfdocs}[PDF]).
|
|
|
|
The following technology-agnostic endpoints are available:

|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.enabling]]
|
|
=== Enabling Endpoints
|
|
By default, all endpoints except for `shutdown` are enabled.
|
|
To configure the enablement of an endpoint, use its `management.endpoint.<id>.enabled` property.
|
|
The following example enables the `shutdown` endpoint:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
shutdown:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you prefer endpoint enablement to be opt-in rather than opt-out, set the configprop:management.endpoints.enabled-by-default[] property to `false` and use individual endpoint `enabled` properties to opt back in.
|
|
The following example enables the `info` endpoint and disables all other endpoints:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
enabled-by-default: false
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
info:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Disabled endpoints are removed entirely from the application context.
|
|
If you want to change only the technologies over which an endpoint is exposed, use the <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.exposing, `include` and `exclude` properties>> instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.exposing]]
|
|
=== Exposing Endpoints
|
|
By default, only the health endpoint is exposed over HTTP and JMX.
|
|
Since Endpoints may contain sensitive information, you should carefully consider when to expose them.
|
|
|
|
To change which endpoints are exposed, use the following technology-specific `include` and `exclude` properties:
|
|
|
|
[cols="3,1"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| Property | Default
|
|
|
|
| configprop:management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| configprop:management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.include[]
|
|
| `health`
|
|
|
|
| configprop:management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| configprop:management.endpoints.web.exposure.include[]
|
|
| `health`
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
The `include` property lists the IDs of the endpoints that are exposed.
|
|
The `exclude` property lists the IDs of the endpoints that should not be exposed.
|
|
The `exclude` property takes precedence over the `include` property.
|
|
You can configure both the `include` and the `exclude` properties with a list of endpoint IDs.
|
|
|
|
For example, to only expose the `health` and `info` endpoints over JMX, use the following property:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
jmx:
|
|
exposure:
|
|
include: "health,info"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`*` can be used to select all endpoints.
|
|
For example, to expose everything over HTTP except the `env` and `beans` endpoints, use the following properties:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
web:
|
|
exposure:
|
|
include: "*"
|
|
exclude: "env,beans"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: `*` has a special meaning in YAML, so be sure to add quotation marks if you want to include (or exclude) all endpoints.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If your application is exposed publicly, we strongly recommend that you also <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.security, secure your endpoints>>.
|
|
|
|
TIP: If you want to implement your own strategy for when endpoints are exposed, you can register an `EndpointFilter` bean.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.security]]
|
|
=== Security
|
|
For security purposes, only the `/health` endpoint is exposed over HTTP by default.
|
|
You can use the configprop:management.endpoints.web.exposure.include[] property to configure the endpoints that are exposed.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Before setting the `management.endpoints.web.exposure.include`, ensure that the exposed actuators do not contain sensitive information, are secured by placing them behind a firewall, or are secured by something like Spring Security.
|
|
|
|
If Spring Security is on the classpath and no other `SecurityFilterChain` bean is present, all actuators other than `/health` are secured by Spring Boot auto-configuration.
|
|
If you define a custom `SecurityFilterChain` bean, Spring Boot auto-configuration backs off and lets you fully control the actuator access rules.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to configure custom security for HTTP endpoints (for example, to allow only users with a certain role to access them), Spring Boot provides some convenient `RequestMatcher` objects that you can use in combination with Spring Security.
|
|
|
|
A typical Spring Security configuration might look something like the following example:
|
|
|
|
include::code:typical/MySecurityConfiguration[]
|
|
|
|
The preceding example uses `EndpointRequest.toAnyEndpoint()` to match a request to any endpoint and then ensures that all have the `ENDPOINT_ADMIN` role.
|
|
Several other matcher methods are also available on `EndpointRequest`.
|
|
See the API documentation ({spring-boot-actuator-restapi-docs}[HTML] or {spring-boot-actuator-restapi-pdfdocs}[PDF]) for details.
|
|
|
|
If you deploy applications behind a firewall, you may prefer that all your actuator endpoints can be accessed without requiring authentication.
|
|
You can do so by changing the configprop:management.endpoints.web.exposure.include[] property, as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
web:
|
|
exposure:
|
|
include: "*"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if Spring Security is present, you would need to add custom security configuration that allows unauthenticated access to the endpoints, as the following example shows:
|
|
|
|
include::code:exposeall/MySecurityConfiguration[]
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In both of the preceding examples, the configuration applies only to the actuator endpoints.
|
|
Since Spring Boot's security configuration backs off completely in the presence of any `SecurityFilterChain` bean, you need to configure an additional `SecurityFilterChain` bean with rules that apply to the rest of the application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.security.csrf]]
|
|
==== Cross Site Request Forgery Protection
|
|
Since Spring Boot relies on Spring Security's defaults, CSRF protection is turned on by default.
|
|
This means that the actuator endpoints that require a `POST` (shutdown and loggers endpoints), a `PUT`, or a `DELETE` get a 403 (forbidden) error when the default security configuration is in use.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: We recommend disabling CSRF protection completely only if you are creating a service that is used by non-browser clients.
|
|
|
|
You can find additional information about CSRF protection in the {spring-security-docs}/features/exploits/csrf.html[Spring Security Reference Guide].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.caching]]
|
|
=== Configuring Endpoints
|
|
Endpoints automatically cache responses to read operations that do not take any parameters.
|
|
To configure the amount of time for which an endpoint caches a response, use its `cache.time-to-live` property.
|
|
The following example sets the time-to-live of the `beans` endpoint's cache to 10 seconds:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
beans:
|
|
cache:
|
|
time-to-live: "10s"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The `management.endpoint.<name>` prefix uniquely identifies the endpoint that is being configured.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.hypermedia]]
|
|
=== Hypermedia for Actuator Web Endpoints
|
|
A "`discovery page`" is added with links to all the endpoints.
|
|
The "`discovery page`" is available on `/actuator` by default.
|
|
|
|
To disable the "`discovery page`", add the following property to your application properties:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
web:
|
|
discovery:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
When a custom management context path is configured, the "`discovery page`" automatically moves from `/actuator` to the root of the management context.
|
|
For example, if the management context path is `/management`, the discovery page is available from `/management`.
|
|
When the management context path is set to `/`, the discovery page is disabled to prevent the possibility of a clash with other mappings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.cors]]
|
|
=== CORS Support
|
|
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing[Cross-origin resource sharing] (CORS) is a https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/[W3C specification] that lets you specify in a flexible way what kind of cross-domain requests are authorized.
|
|
If you use Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux, you can configure Actuator's web endpoints to support such scenarios.
|
|
|
|
CORS support is disabled by default and is only enabled once you have set the configprop:management.endpoints.web.cors.allowed-origins[] property.
|
|
The following configuration permits `GET` and `POST` calls from the `example.com` domain:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoints:
|
|
web:
|
|
cors:
|
|
allowed-origins: "https://example.com"
|
|
allowed-methods: "GET,POST"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
TIP: See {spring-boot-actuator-autoconfigure-module-code}/endpoint/web/CorsEndpointProperties.java[`CorsEndpointProperties`] for a complete list of options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom]]
|
|
=== Implementing Custom Endpoints
|
|
If you add a `@Bean` annotated with `@Endpoint`, any methods annotated with `@ReadOperation`, `@WriteOperation`, or `@DeleteOperation` are automatically exposed over JMX and, in a web application, over HTTP as well.
|
|
Endpoints can be exposed over HTTP by using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux.
|
|
If both Jersey and Spring MVC are available, Spring MVC is used.
|
|
|
|
The following example exposes a read operation that returns a custom object:
|
|
|
|
include::code:MyEndpoint[tag=read]
|
|
|
|
You can also write technology-specific endpoints by using `@JmxEndpoint` or `@WebEndpoint`.
|
|
These endpoints are restricted to their respective technologies.
|
|
For example, `@WebEndpoint` is exposed only over HTTP and not over JMX.
|
|
|
|
You can write technology-specific extensions by using `@EndpointWebExtension` and `@EndpointJmxExtension`.
|
|
These annotations let you provide technology-specific operations to augment an existing endpoint.
|
|
|
|
Finally, if you need access to web-framework-specific functionality, you can implement servlet or Spring `@Controller` and `@RestController` endpoints at the cost of them not being available over JMX or when using a different web framework.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.input]]
|
|
==== Receiving Input
|
|
Operations on an endpoint receive input through their parameters.
|
|
When exposed over the web, the values for these parameters are taken from the URL's query parameters and from the JSON request body.
|
|
When exposed over JMX, the parameters are mapped to the parameters of the MBean's operations.
|
|
Parameters are required by default.
|
|
They can be made optional by annotating them with either `@javax.annotation.Nullable` or `@org.springframework.lang.Nullable`.
|
|
|
|
You can map each root property in the JSON request body to a parameter of the endpoint.
|
|
Consider the following JSON request body:
|
|
|
|
[source,json,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "test",
|
|
"counter": 42
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can use this to invoke a write operation that takes `String name` and `int counter` parameters, as the following example shows:
|
|
|
|
include::code:../MyEndpoint[tag=write]
|
|
|
|
TIP: Because endpoints are technology agnostic, only simple types can be specified in the method signature.
|
|
In particular, declaring a single parameter with a `CustomData` type that defines a `name` and `counter` properties is not supported.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: To let the input be mapped to the operation method's parameters, Java code that implements an endpoint should be compiled with `-parameters`, and Kotlin code that implements an endpoint should be compiled with `-java-parameters`.
|
|
This will happen automatically if you use Spring Boot's Gradle plugin or if you use Maven and `spring-boot-starter-parent`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.input.conversion]]
|
|
===== Input Type Conversion
|
|
The parameters passed to endpoint operation methods are, if necessary, automatically converted to the required type.
|
|
Before calling an operation method, the input received over JMX or HTTP is converted to the required types by using an instance of `ApplicationConversionService` as well as any `Converter` or `GenericConverter` beans qualified with `@EndpointConverter`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web]]
|
|
==== Custom Web Endpoints
|
|
Operations on an `@Endpoint`, `@WebEndpoint`, or `@EndpointWebExtension` are automatically exposed over HTTP using Jersey, Spring MVC, or Spring WebFlux.
|
|
If both Jersey and Spring MVC are available, Spring MVC is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.request-predicates]]
|
|
===== Web Endpoint Request Predicates
|
|
A request predicate is automatically generated for each operation on a web-exposed endpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.path-predicates]]
|
|
===== Path
|
|
The path of the predicate is determined by the ID of the endpoint and the base path of the web-exposed endpoints.
|
|
The default base path is `/actuator`.
|
|
For example, an endpoint with an ID of `sessions` uses `/actuator/sessions` as its path in the predicate.
|
|
|
|
You can further customize the path by annotating one or more parameters of the operation method with `@Selector`.
|
|
Such a parameter is added to the path predicate as a path variable.
|
|
The variable's value is passed into the operation method when the endpoint operation is invoked.
|
|
If you want to capture all remaining path elements, you can add `@Selector(Match=ALL_REMAINING)` to the last parameter and make it a type that is conversion-compatible with a `String[]`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.method-predicates]]
|
|
===== HTTP method
|
|
The HTTP method of the predicate is determined by the operation type, as shown in the following table:
|
|
|
|
[cols="3, 1"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| Operation | HTTP method
|
|
|
|
| `@ReadOperation`
|
|
| `GET`
|
|
|
|
| `@WriteOperation`
|
|
| `POST`
|
|
|
|
| `@DeleteOperation`
|
|
| `DELETE`
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.consumes-predicates]]
|
|
===== Consumes
|
|
For a `@WriteOperation` (HTTP `POST`) that uses the request body, the `consumes` clause of the predicate is `application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json`.
|
|
For all other operations, the `consumes` clause is empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.produces-predicates]]
|
|
===== Produces
|
|
The `produces` clause of the predicate can be determined by the `produces` attribute of the `@DeleteOperation`, `@ReadOperation`, and `@WriteOperation` annotations.
|
|
The attribute is optional.
|
|
If it is not used, the `produces` clause is determined automatically.
|
|
|
|
If the operation method returns `void` or `Void`, the `produces` clause is empty.
|
|
If the operation method returns a `org.springframework.core.io.Resource`, the `produces` clause is `application/octet-stream`.
|
|
For all other operations, the `produces` clause is `application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json, application/json`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.response-status]]
|
|
===== Web Endpoint Response Status
|
|
The default response status for an endpoint operation depends on the operation type (read, write, or delete) and what, if anything, the operation returns.
|
|
|
|
If a `@ReadOperation` returns a value, the response status will be 200 (OK).
|
|
If it does not return a value, the response status will be 404 (Not Found).
|
|
|
|
If a `@WriteOperation` or `@DeleteOperation` returns a value, the response status will be 200 (OK).
|
|
If it does not return a value, the response status will be 204 (No Content).
|
|
|
|
If an operation is invoked without a required parameter or with a parameter that cannot be converted to the required type, the operation method is not called, and the response status will be 400 (Bad Request).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.range-requests]]
|
|
===== Web Endpoint Range Requests
|
|
You can use an HTTP range request to request part of an HTTP resource.
|
|
When using Spring MVC or Spring Web Flux, operations that return a `org.springframework.core.io.Resource` automatically support range requests.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Range requests are not supported when using Jersey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.web.security]]
|
|
===== Web Endpoint Security
|
|
An operation on a web endpoint or a web-specific endpoint extension can receive the current `java.security.Principal` or `org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.SecurityContext` as a method parameter.
|
|
The former is typically used in conjunction with `@Nullable` to provide different behavior for authenticated and unauthenticated users.
|
|
The latter is typically used to perform authorization checks by using its `isUserInRole(String)` method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.servlet]]
|
|
==== Servlet Endpoints
|
|
A servlet can be exposed as an endpoint by implementing a class annotated with `@ServletEndpoint` that also implements `Supplier<EndpointServlet>`.
|
|
Servlet endpoints provide deeper integration with the servlet container but at the expense of portability.
|
|
They are intended to be used to expose an existing servlet as an endpoint.
|
|
For new endpoints, the `@Endpoint` and `@WebEndpoint` annotations should be preferred whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.implementing-custom.controller]]
|
|
==== Controller Endpoints
|
|
You can use `@ControllerEndpoint` and `@RestControllerEndpoint` to implement an endpoint that is exposed only by Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux.
|
|
Methods are mapped by using the standard annotations for Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux, such as `@RequestMapping` and `@GetMapping`, with the endpoint's ID being used as a prefix for the path.
|
|
Controller endpoints provide deeper integration with Spring's web frameworks but at the expense of portability.
|
|
The `@Endpoint` and `@WebEndpoint` annotations should be preferred whenever possible.

[[actuator.endpoints.health]]
|
|
=== Health Information
|
|
You can use health information to check the status of your running application.
|
|
It is often used by monitoring software to alert someone when a production system goes down.
|
|
The information exposed by the `health` endpoint depends on the configprop:management.endpoint.health.show-details[] and configprop:management.endpoint.health.show-components[] properties, which can be configured with one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
[cols="1, 3"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| Name | Description
|
|
|
|
| `never`
|
|
| Details are never shown.
|
|
|
|
| `when-authorized`
|
|
| Details are shown only to authorized users.
|
|
Authorized roles can be configured by using `management.endpoint.health.roles`.
|
|
|
|
| `always`
|
|
| Details are shown to all users.
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
The default value is `never`.
|
|
A user is considered to be authorized when they are in one or more of the endpoint's roles.
|
|
If the endpoint has no configured roles (the default), all authenticated users are considered to be authorized.
|
|
You can configure the roles by using the configprop:management.endpoint.health.roles[] property.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you have secured your application and wish to use `always`, your security configuration must permit access to the health endpoint for both authenticated and unauthenticated users.
|
|
|
|
Health information is collected from the content of a {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/HealthContributorRegistry.java[`HealthContributorRegistry`] (by default, all {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/HealthContributor.java[`HealthContributor`] instances defined in your `ApplicationContext`).
|
|
Spring Boot includes a number of auto-configured `HealthContributors`, and you can also write your own.
|
|
|
|
A `HealthContributor` can be either a `HealthIndicator` or a `CompositeHealthContributor`.
|
|
A `HealthIndicator` provides actual health information, including a `Status`.
|
|
A `CompositeHealthContributor` provides a composite of other `HealthContributors`.
|
|
Taken together, contributors form a tree structure to represent the overall system health.
|
|
|
|
By default, the final system health is derived by a `StatusAggregator`, which sorts the statuses from each `HealthIndicator` based on an ordered list of statuses.
|
|
The first status in the sorted list is used as the overall health status.
|
|
If no `HealthIndicator` returns a status that is known to the `StatusAggregator`, an `UNKNOWN` status is used.
|
|
|
|
TIP: You can use the `HealthContributorRegistry` to register and unregister health indicators at runtime.

[[actuator.endpoints.health.writing-custom-health-indicators]]
|
|
==== Writing Custom HealthIndicators
|
|
To provide custom health information, you can register Spring beans that implement the {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/HealthIndicator.java[`HealthIndicator`] interface.
|
|
You need to provide an implementation of the `health()` method and return a `Health` response.
|
|
The `Health` response should include a status and can optionally include additional details to be displayed.
|
|
The following code shows a sample `HealthIndicator` implementation:
|
|
|
|
include::code:MyHealthIndicator[]
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The identifier for a given `HealthIndicator` is the name of the bean without the `HealthIndicator` suffix, if it exists.
|
|
In the preceding example, the health information is available in an entry named `my`.
|
|
|
|
TIP: Health indicators are usually called over HTTP and need to respond before any connection timeouts.
|
|
Spring Boot will log a warning message for any health indicator that takes longer than 10 seconds to respond.
|
|
If you want to configure this threshold, you can use the configprop:management.endpoint.health.logging.slow-indicator-threshold[] property.
|
|
|
|
In addition to Spring Boot's predefined {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/Status.java[`Status`] types, `Health` can return a custom `Status` that represents a new system state.
|
|
In such cases, you also need to provide a custom implementation of the {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/StatusAggregator.java[`StatusAggregator`] interface, or you must configure the default implementation by using the configprop:management.endpoint.health.status.order[] configuration property.
|
|
|
|
For example, assume a new `Status` with a code of `FATAL` is being used in one of your `HealthIndicator` implementations.
|
|
To configure the severity order, add the following property to your application properties:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
health:
|
|
status:
|
|
order: "fatal,down,out-of-service,unknown,up"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The HTTP status code in the response reflects the overall health status.
|
|
By default, `OUT_OF_SERVICE` and `DOWN` map to 503.
|
|
Any unmapped health statuses, including `UP`, map to 200.
|
|
You might also want to register custom status mappings if you access the health endpoint over HTTP.
|
|
Configuring a custom mapping disables the defaults mappings for `DOWN` and `OUT_OF_SERVICE`.
|
|
If you want to retain the default mappings, you must explicitly configure them, alongside any custom mappings.
|
|
For example, the following property maps `FATAL` to 503 (service unavailable) and retains the default mappings for `DOWN` and `OUT_OF_SERVICE`:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|

----
|
|

|
down: 503
|
|
fatal: 503
|
|
out-of-service: 503
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
TIP: If you need more control, you can define your own `HttpCodeStatusMapper` bean.
|
|
|
|
The following table shows the default status mappings for the built-in statuses:
|
|
|
|
[cols="1,3"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| Status | Mapping
|
|
|
|
| `DOWN`
|
|
| `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` (`503`)
|
|
|
|
| `OUT_OF_SERVICE`
|
|
| `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` (`503`)
|
|
|
|
| `UP`
|
|
| No mapping by default, so HTTP status is `200`
|
|
|
|
| `UNKNOWN`
|
|
| No mapping by default, so HTTP status is `200`

[[actuator.endpoints.health.reactive-health-indicators]]
|
|
==== Reactive Health Indicators
|
|
For reactive applications, such as those that use Spring WebFlux, `ReactiveHealthContributor` provides a non-blocking contract for getting application health.
|
|
Similar to a traditional `HealthContributor`, health information is collected from the content of a {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/ReactiveHealthContributorRegistry.java[`ReactiveHealthContributorRegistry`] (by default, all {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/HealthContributor.java[`HealthContributor`] and {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/ReactiveHealthContributor.java[`ReactiveHealthContributor`] instances defined in your `ApplicationContext`).
|
|
Regular `HealthContributors` that do not check against a reactive API are executed on the elastic scheduler.
|
|
|
|
TIP: In a reactive application, you should use the `ReactiveHealthContributorRegistry` to register and unregister health indicators at runtime.
|
|
If you need to register a regular `HealthContributor`, you should wrap it with `ReactiveHealthContributor#adapt`.
|
|
|
|
To provide custom health information from a reactive API, you can register Spring beans that implement the {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/health/ReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`ReactiveHealthIndicator`] interface.
|
|
The following code shows a sample `ReactiveHealthIndicator` implementation:
|
|
|
|
include::code:MyReactiveHealthIndicator[]
|
|
|
|
TIP: To handle the error automatically, consider extending from `AbstractReactiveHealthIndicator`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.health.auto-configured-reactive-health-indicators]]
|

==== Auto-configured ReactiveHealthIndicators

When appropriate, Spring Boot auto-configures the following `ReactiveHealthIndicators`:

|
|
| Key | Name | Description
|
|
|
|
| `cassandra`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/cassandra/CassandraDriverReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`CassandraDriverReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that a Cassandra database is up.
|
|
|
|
| `couchbase`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/couchbase/CouchbaseReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`CouchbaseReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that a Couchbase cluster is up.
|
|
|
|
| `elasticsearch`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/data/elasticsearch/ElasticsearchReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`ElasticsearchReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that an Elasticsearch cluster is up.
|
|
|
|
| `mongo`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/data/mongo/MongoReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`MongoReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that a Mongo database is up.
|
|
|
|
| `neo4j`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/neo4j/Neo4jReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`Neo4jReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that a Neo4j database is up.
|
|
|
|
| `redis`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/data/redis/RedisReactiveHealthIndicator.java[`RedisReactiveHealthIndicator`]
|
|
| Checks that a Redis server is up.
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
TIP: If necessary, reactive indicators replace the regular ones.
|
|
Also, any `HealthIndicator` that is not handled explicitly is wrapped automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.health.groups]]
|
|
==== Health Groups
|
|
It is sometimes useful to organize health indicators into groups that you can use for different purposes.
|
|
|
|
To create a health indicator group, you can use the `management.endpoint.health.group.<name>` property and specify a list of health indicator IDs to `include` or `exclude`.
|
|
For example, to create a group that includes only database indicators you can define the following:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
health:
|
|
group:
|
|
custom:
|
|
include: "db"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can then check the result by hitting `http://localhost:8080/actuator/health/custom`.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, to create a group that excludes the database indicators from the group and includes all the other indicators, you can define the following:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
health:
|
|
group:
|
|
custom:
|
|
exclude: "db"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
By default, groups inherit the same `StatusAggregator` and `HttpCodeStatusMapper` settings as the system health.
|
|
However, you can also define these on a per-group basis.
|
|
You can also override the `show-details` and `roles` properties if required:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
health:
|
|
group:
|
|
custom:
|
|
show-details: "when-authorized"
|
|
roles: "admin"
|
|
status:
|
|
order: "fatal,up"
|
|
http-mapping:
|
|
fatal: 500
|
|
out-of-service: 500
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
TIP: You can use `@Qualifier("groupname")` if you need to register custom `StatusAggregator` or `HttpCodeStatusMapper` beans for use with the group.
|
|
|
|
A health group can also include/exclude a `CompositeHealthContributor`.
|
|
You can also include/exclude only a certain component of a `CompositeHealthContributor`.
|
|
This can be done using the fully qualified name of the component as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,properties,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
management.endpoint.health.group.custom.include="test/primary"
|
|
management.endpoint.health.group.custom.exclude="test/primary/b"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In the example above, the `custom` group will include the `HealthContributor` with the name `primary` which is a component of the composite `test`.
|
|
Here, `primary` itself is a composite and the `HealthContributor` with the name `b` will be excluded from the `custom` group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Health groups can be made available at an additional path on either the main or management port.
|
|
This is useful in cloud environments such as Kubernetes, where it is quite common to use a separate management port for the actuator endpoints for security purposes.
|
|
Having a separate port could lead to unreliable health checks because the main application might not work properly even if the health check is successful.
|
|
The health group can be configured with an additional path as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,properties,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
management.endpoint.health.group.live.additional-path="server:/healthz"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This would make the `live` health group available on the main server port at `/healthz`.
|
|
The prefix is mandatory and must be either `server:` (represents the main server port) or `management:` (represents the management port, if configured.)
|
|
The path must be a single path segment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.health.datasource]]
|
|
==== DataSource Health
|
|
The `DataSource` health indicator shows the health of both standard data sources and routing data source beans.
|
|
The health of a routing data source includes the health of each of its target data sources.
|
|
In the health endpoint's response, each of a routing data source's targets is named by using its routing key.
|
|
If you prefer not to include routing data sources in the indicator's output, set configprop:management.health.db.ignore-routing-data-sources[] to `true`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.kubernetes-probes]]
|
|
=== Kubernetes Probes
|
|
Applications deployed on Kubernetes can provide information about their internal state with https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#container-probes[Container Probes].
|
|
Depending on https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/[your Kubernetes configuration], the kubelet calls those probes and reacts to the result.
|
|
|
|
By default, Spring Boot manages your <<features#features.spring-application.application-availability,Application Availability State>>.
|
|
If deployed in a Kubernetes environment, actuator gathers the "`Liveness`" and "`Readiness`" information from the `ApplicationAvailability` interface and uses that information in dedicated <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.health.auto-configured-health-indicators,health indicators>>: `LivenessStateHealthIndicator` and `ReadinessStateHealthIndicator`.
|
|
These indicators are shown on the global health endpoint (`"/actuator/health"`).
|
|
They are also exposed as separate HTTP Probes by using <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.health.groups, health groups>>: `"/actuator/health/liveness"` and `"/actuator/health/readiness"`.
|
|
|
|
You can then configure your Kubernetes infrastructure with the following endpoint information:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
livenessProbe:
|
|
httpGet:
|
|
path: "/actuator/health/liveness"
|
|
port: <actuator-port>
|
|
failureThreshold: ...
|
|
periodSeconds: ...
|
|
|
|
readinessProbe:
|
|
httpGet:
|
|
path: "/actuator/health/readiness"
|
|
port: <actuator-port>
|
|
failureThreshold: ...
|
|
periodSeconds: ...
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
NOTE: `<actuator-port>` should be set to the port that the actuator endpoints are available on.
|
|
It could be the main web server port or a separate management port if the `"management.server.port"` property has been set.
|
|
|
|
These health groups are automatically enabled only if the application <<deployment#deployment.cloud.kubernetes,runs in a Kubernetes environment>>.
|
|
You can enable them in any environment by using the configprop:management.endpoint.health.probes.enabled[] configuration property.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If an application takes longer to start than the configured liveness period, Kubernetes mentions the `"startupProbe"` as a possible solution.
|
|
The `"startupProbe"` is not necessarily needed here, as the `"readinessProbe"` fails until all startup tasks are done. See the section that describes <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.kubernetes-probes.lifecycle,how probes behave during the application lifecycle>>.
|
|
|
|
If your Actuator endpoints are deployed on a separate management context, the endpoints do not use the same web infrastructure (port, connection pools, framework components) as the main application.
|
|
In this case, a probe check could be successful even if the main application does not work properly (for example, it cannot accept new connections).
|
|
For this reason, is it a good idea to make the `liveness` and `readiness` health groups available on the main server port.
|
|
This can be done by setting the following property:
|
|
|
|
[source,properties,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
management.endpoint.health.probes.add-additional-paths=true
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This would make `liveness` available at `/livez` and `readiness` at `readyz` on the main server port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.kubernetes-probes.external-state]]
|
|
==== Checking External State With Kubernetes Probes
|
|
Actuator configures the "`liveness`" and "`readiness`" probes as Health Groups.
|
|
This means that all the <<actuator#actuator.endpoints.health.groups, health groups features>> are available for them.
|
|
You can, for example, configure additional Health Indicators:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
endpoint:
|
|
health:
|
|
group:
|
|
readiness:
|
|
include: "readinessState,customCheck"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
By default, Spring Boot does not add other health indicators to these groups.
|
|
|
|
The "`liveness`" probe should not depend on health checks for external systems.
|
|
If the <<features#features.spring-application.application-availability.liveness,liveness state of an application>> is broken, Kubernetes tries to solve that problem by restarting the application instance.
|
|
This means that if an external system (such as a database, a Web API, or an external cache) fails, Kubernetes might restart all application instances and create cascading failures.
|
|
|
|
As for the "`readiness`" probe, the choice of checking external systems must be made carefully by the application developers.
|
|
For this reason, Spring Boot does not include any additional health checks in the readiness probe.
|
|
If the <<features#features.spring-application.application-availability.readiness,readiness state of an application instance>> is unready, Kubernetes does not route traffic to that instance.
|
|
Some external systems might not be shared by application instances, in which case they could be included in a readiness probe.
|
|
Other external systems might not be essential to the application (the application could have circuit breakers and fallbacks), in which case they definitely should not be included.
|
|
Unfortunately, an external system that is shared by all application instances is common, and you have to make a judgement call: Include it in the readiness probe and expect that the application is taken out of service when the external service is down or leave it out and deal with failures higher up the stack, perhaps by using a circuit breaker in the caller.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If all instances of an application are unready, a Kubernetes Service with `type=ClusterIP` or `NodePort` does not accept any incoming connections.
|
|
There is no HTTP error response (503 and so on), since there is no connection.
|
|
A service with `type=LoadBalancer` might or might not accept connections, depending on the provider.
|
|
A service that has an explicit https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/[ingress] also responds in a way that depends on the implementation -- the ingress service itself has to decide how to handle the "`connection refused`" from downstream.
|
|
HTTP 503 is quite likely in the case of both load balancer and ingress.
|
|
|
|
Also, if an application uses Kubernetes https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/[autoscaling], it may react differently to applications being taken out of the load-balancer, depending on its autoscaler configuration.

[[actuator.endpoints.kubernetes-probes.lifecycle]]
|
|
==== Application Lifecycle and Probe States
|
|
An important aspect of the Kubernetes Probes support is its consistency with the application lifecycle.
|
|
There is a significant difference between the `AvailabilityState` (which is the in-memory, internal state of the application)
|
|
and the actual probe (which exposes that state).
|
|
Depending on the phase of application lifecycle, the probe might not be available.
|
|
|
|
Spring Boot publishes <<features#features.spring-application.application-events-and-listeners,application events during startup and shutdown>>,
|
|
and probes can listen to such events and expose the `AvailabilityState` information.
|
|
|
|
The following tables show the `AvailabilityState` and the state of HTTP connectors at different stages.
|
|
|
|
When a Spring Boot application starts:

[[actuator.endpoints.info]]
|
|
=== Application Information
|
|
Application information exposes various information collected from all {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/InfoContributor.java[`InfoContributor`] beans defined in your `ApplicationContext`.
|
|
Spring Boot includes a number of auto-configured `InfoContributor` beans, and you can write your own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.auto-configured-info-contributors]]
|
|
==== Auto-configured InfoContributors
|
|
When appropriate, Spring auto-configures the following `InfoContributor` beans:
|
|
|
|
[cols="1,4,8,4"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| ID | Name | Description | Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
| `build`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/BuildInfoContributor.java[`BuildInfoContributor`]
|
|
| Exposes build information.
|
|
| A `META-INF/build-info.properties` resource.
|
|
|
|
| `env`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/EnvironmentInfoContributor.java[`EnvironmentInfoContributor`]
|
|
| Exposes any property from the `Environment` whose name starts with `info.`.
|
|
| None.
|
|
|
|
| `git`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/GitInfoContributor.java[`GitInfoContributor`]
|
|
| Exposes git information.
|
|
| A `git.properties` resource.
|
|
|
|
| `java`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/JavaInfoContributor.java[`JavaInfoContributor`]
|
|
| Exposes Java runtime information.
|
|
| None.
|
|
|
|
| `os`
|
|
| {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/OsInfoContributor.java[`OsInfoContributor`]
|
|
| Exposes Operating System information.
|
|
| None.
|
|
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
Whether an individual contributor is enabled is controlled by its `management.info.<id>.enabled` property.
|
|
Different contributors have different defaults for this property, depending on their prerequisites and the nature of the information that they expose.
|
|
|
|
With no prerequisites to indicate that they should be enabled, the `env`, `java`, and `os` contributors are disabled by default.
|
|
Each can be enabled by setting its `management.info.<id>.enabled` property to `true`.
|
|
|
|
The `build` and `git` info contributors are enabled by default.
|
|
Each can be disabled by setting its `management.info.<id>.enabled` property to `false`.
|
|
Alternatively, to disable every contributor that is usually enabled by default, set the configprop:management.info.defaults.enabled[] property to `false`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.custom-application-information]]
|
|
==== Custom Application Information
|
|
When the `env` contributor is enabled, you can customize the data exposed by the `info` endpoint by setting `+info.*+` Spring properties.
|
|
All `Environment` properties under the `info` key are automatically exposed.
|
|
For example, you could add the following settings to your `application.properties` file:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
info:
|
|
app:
|
|
encoding: "UTF-8"
|
|
java:
|
|
source: "11"
|
|
target: "11"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
[TIP]
|
|
====
|
|
Rather than hardcoding those values, you could also <<howto#howto.properties-and-configuration.expand-properties,expand info properties at build time>>.
|
|
|
|
Assuming you use Maven, you could rewrite the preceding example as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
info:
|
|
app:
|
|
encoding: "@project.build.sourceEncoding@"
|
|
java:
|
|
source: "@java.version@"
|
|
target: "@java.version@"
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.git-commit-information]]
|
|
==== Git Commit Information
|
|
Another useful feature of the `info` endpoint is its ability to publish information about the state of your `git` source code repository when the project was built.
|
|
If a `GitProperties` bean is available, you can use the `info` endpoint to expose these properties.
|
|
|
|
TIP: A `GitProperties` bean is auto-configured if a `git.properties` file is available at the root of the classpath.
|
|
See "<<howto#howto.build.generate-git-info,how to generate git information>>" for more detail.
|
|
|
|
By default, the endpoint exposes `git.branch`, `git.commit.id`, and `git.commit.time` properties, if present.
|
|
If you do not want any of these properties in the endpoint response, they need to be excluded from the `git.properties` file.
|
|
If you want to display the full git information (that is, the full content of `git.properties`), use the configprop:management.info.git.mode[] property, as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
info:
|
|
git:
|
|
mode: "full"
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
To disable the git commit information from the `info` endpoint completely, set the configprop:management.info.git.enabled[] property to `false`, as follows:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
|
|
----
|
|
management:
|
|
info:
|
|
git:
|
|
enabled: false
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.build-information]]
|
|
==== Build Information
|
|
If a `BuildProperties` bean is available, the `info` endpoint can also publish information about your build.
|
|
This happens if a `META-INF/build-info.properties` file is available in the classpath.
|
|
|
|
TIP: The Maven and Gradle plugins can both generate that file.
|
|
See "<<howto#howto.build.generate-info,how to generate build information>>" for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.java-information]]
|
|
==== Java Information
|
|
The `info` endpoint publishes information about your Java runtime environment, see {spring-boot-module-api}/info/JavaInfo.html[`JavaInfo`] for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.os-information]]
|
|
==== OS Information
|
|
The `info` endpoint publishes information about your Operating System, see {spring-boot-module-api}/info/OsInfo.html[`OsInfo`] for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[actuator.endpoints.info.writing-custom-info-contributors]]
|
|
==== Writing Custom InfoContributors
|
|
To provide custom application information, you can register Spring beans that implement the {spring-boot-actuator-module-code}/info/InfoContributor.java[`InfoContributor`] interface.
|
|
|
|
The following example contributes an `example` entry with a single value:
|
|
|
|
include::code:MyInfoContributor[]
|
|
|
|
If you reach the `info` endpoint, you should see a response that contains the following additional entry:
|
|
|
|
[source,json,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"example": {
|
|
"key" : "value"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
