Spring Boot Actuator Health Returning DOWN

Question

When I access the /health endpoint from my Spring Boot application (1.2.4.RELEASE) it is returning a status of DOWN:

{
    status: \"DO         


        

Answer 1

in my case, I needed both these properties to get more details :

endpoints.health.sensitive: false
management.security.enabled: false

Otherwise, all I was getting was an DOWN status.

I had an issue with RabbitMQ connection : my application is not using it yet, but we've started wiring some code related to it. The application works fine, but we were getting DOWN health status, which was quite puzzling : Spring Boot is surprisingly silent in the logs, as no error shows at startup (I'll probably need to change my config to make it more verbose)
