Java Spring Boot 2 application monitoring with Netdata
This module monitors one or more Java Spring-boot 2 applications depending on configuration. Netdata can be used to
monitor running Java Spring Boot 2 applications that expose their metrics with the use of the **
Spring Boot Actuator** included in Spring Boot library.
Springboot2 module looks up http://localhost:8080/actuator/prometheus
and http://127.0.0.1:8080/actuator/prometheus
to detect Spring Boot application by default.
Metrics
All metrics have "springboot2." prefix.

Configuration
Edit the go.d/springboot2.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the
Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/springboot2.conf
The Spring Boot Actuator exposes these metrics over HTTP and is very easy to use:
- add
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator
and io.micrometer:micrometer-registry-prometheus
to your
application dependencies
- set
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*
in your application.properties
Please refer to
the Spring Boot Actuator: Production-ready features
and 81. Actuator - Part IX. ‘How-to’ guides
for more information.
Here is an example for 2 servers:
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://localhost:8080/actuator/prometheus
- name: remote
url: http://203.0.113.10:8080/actuator/prometheus
For all available options please see
module configuration file.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the springboot2
collector, run the go.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
Navigate to the plugins.d
directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the plugins
setting under [directories]
.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-
Switch to the netdata
user.
sudo -u netdata -s
-
Run the go.d.plugin
to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m springboot2
