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

I got this fixed using below code.

Wrote a controller which accepts "/private/health" mapping (You can use /health instead).

import io.swagger.annotations.Api;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseStatus;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
@RequestMapping
@Api(value = "Heath Service Health", description = "Heath Service Health")
public class HeathController {
  @GetMapping(value = "/private/health")
  @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
  HealthStatusDto healthCheck() {
    return HealthStatusDto.builder().status("UP").build();
  }
}

Below class is optional. Instead of returning HealthStatusDto in above controller you can return any other message as a String.

import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
public final class HealthStatusDto {
  private final String status;
}

Add below config in application.yml

# actuator
# Disable Spring security
management:
  security:
    enabled: false

# Disable actuators
endpoints:
  actuator:
    enabled: false
  enabled: false

Hope this helps
