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

If you just added endpoint and it is down check maybe something of default checks is down see the link to see what is checked by default. in my case I forgot to run elastic, so health-check reported "down" as Rashmi pointed out you can disable defaults by management.health.defaults.enabled=false, but it is better to find the actual reason why
