I am developing a TCP socket server application in java using Spring Boot. Eventhough, I am not using the spring-boot-starter-web dependency, I still would like to benefit from the actuator endpoint to monitor the application using external monitoring tool like prometheus.
A minimal equivalent application would be:

DemoApplication.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
}

@Component
public class SpringBootConsoleApplication
implements CommandLineRunner {
private static Logger LOG = LoggerFactory
.getLogger(SpringBootConsoleApplication.class);
@Override
public void run(String... args) throws InterruptedException {
LOG.info("EXECUTING : command line runner");
int i = 0;
while(true) {
LOG.info("iteration: {}", i++);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
}
}
application.yml
spring:
jmx:
enabled: true
management:
endpoints:
jmx:
unique-names: true
exposure:
include: '*'
web:
exposure:
include: '*'
health:
show-details: always
Using jconsole, I can get the actuator data via JMX, but how to get them from the actuator rest endpoint?
Are there some missing (or unnecessary) config in the application.yml or missing dependencies?
I have read the other posts:
- how could access actuator endpoints in non-web application
- Spring boot actuator for commandline runner application
without managing to make the rest actuator working on my application.
