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
