{"enrichment":{"faq":[{"a":"spring-boot-actuator endpoints are enabled by adding the spring-boot-starter-actuator dependency and configuring exposure in application.properties or application.yml. By default, only the /health endpoint is exposed over HTTP; enable others via management.endpoints.web.include=* or list specific endpoints like metrics,info,env. Use management.endpoints.web.base-path to customize the path prefix (default /actuator).","q":"How do I enable actuator endpoints in Spring Boot?"},{"a":"spring-boot-actuator setup begins with adding the starter dependency, then configuring which endpoints to expose and on which port. Add spring-boot-starter-actuator to your pom.xml or build.gradle, set management.endpoints.web.include in application.properties, and optionally configure management.server.port for a separate management interface. This enables health checks, metrics, and diagnostics endpoints for production monitoring.","q":"What is spring boot actuator setup and how do I start?"},{"a":"Secure spring-boot-actuator endpoints by integrating Spring Security and restricting access to management endpoints. Configure security rules to require authentication for sensitive endpoints like /actuator/env or /actuator/shutdown. Use role-based access control (e.g., ROLE_ADMIN) and consider running the management port on a private network. Disable unnecessary endpoints via management.endpoints.web.exclude to reduce attack surface.","q":"How do I secure spring boot actuator endpoints with authentication?"},{"a":"Configure spring-boot-actuator metrics for Prometheus by adding the micrometer-registry-prometheus dependency. This exposes metrics at /actuator/prometheus in Prometheus text format. Add spring-boot-starter-actuator and micrometer-registry-prometheus to your build, then configure Prometheus to scrape your application's /actuator/prometheus endpoint. Customize metric collection with management.metrics.* properties.","q":"How do I configure actuator metrics prometheus export?"},{"a":"spring-boot-actuator provides /actuator/health/readiness and /actuator/health/liveness endpoints for Kubernetes and container orchestration. Readiness probes indicate if the application can handle traffic; liveness probes detect if it needs restart. Enable them via management.health.livenessState.enabled=true and management.health.readinessState.enabled=true. Customize health indicators to reflect your application's dependencies and startup requirements.","q":"What are readiness and liveness probes in spring boot actuator?"},{"a":"Troubleshoot spring-boot-actuator endpoint issues by verifying the starter dependency is present, checking management.endpoints.web.include configuration, and confirming the endpoint is not excluded. Use /actuator to list available endpoints, inspect application logs for startup errors, and validate that Spring Security rules don't block access. Ensure management.server.port is accessible if using a separate management interface.","q":"How do I troubleshoot missing spring boot actuator endpoints?"}],"shadow_tags":["observability-stack","health-probes","metrics-export","endpoint-security","production-readiness","diagnostic-tools","jvm-monitoring","micrometer-integration"],"summary_rewrite":"Set up production-ready observability for Spring Boot services using Actuator endpoints, health probes, and Micrometer integration.
