Spring Boot Monitoring
Overview
Spring Boot is a Spring framework module which provides RAD (Rapid Application Development) feature to the Spring framework. It is highly dependent on the starter templates feature, which is very powerful and works flawlessly.
Spring Boot aims to make it easy to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with minimum fuss. It takes an opinionated view of the Spring platform so that new and existing users can quickly get to the bits they need.
Spring Boot includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and manage your application when you push it to production. You can choose to manage and monitor your application by using HTTP endpoints or with JMX. Auditing, health, and metrics gathering can also be automatically applied to your application.
An actuator is used monitoring our app, gathering metrics, understanding traffic or the state of our database becomes trivial with this dependency. The main benefit of this library is that we can get production grade tools without having to actually implement these features ourselves. Actuator is mainly used to expose operational information about the running application – health, metrics, info, dump, env, etc. It uses HTTP endpoints or JMX beans to enable us to interact with it.
The major business driver for this requirement is as follows:
- Monitoring Spring boot services metrics through REST API.
- Monitoring Spring boot actuator metrics through REST API.
- Monitoring Spring boot spectator metrics through REST API.
