Spring Boot Actuator Without Spring Boot

Spring Boot Actuator without Spring Boot

You can use actuator without spring boot.
Add this to pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-actuator</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.5.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

And then in your config class

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@Import({
        EndpointAutoConfiguration.class , PublicMetricsAutoConfiguration.class , HealthIndicatorAutoConfiguration.class
})
public class MyActuatorConfig {

    @Bean
    @Autowired
    public EndpointHandlerMapping endpointHandlerMapping(Collection<? extends MvcEndpoint> endpoints) {
        return new EndpointHandlerMapping(endpoints);
    }

    @Bean
    @Autowired
    public EndpointMvcAdapter metricsEndPoint(MetricsEndpoint delegate) {
        return new EndpointMvcAdapter(delegate);
    }
}

And then you can see the metrics in your application

http://localhost:8085/metrics

Use Spring Boot Actuator without a Spring Boot Application

I have added information on how to add spring boot actuator in a non boot application in this blog post

http://givenwhenthen.blogspot.com/2015/09/adding-spring-boot-actuator-to-non.html

In the application's build.gradle, I added the following dependency

compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-actuator:1.2.5.RELEASE'){
    exclude group: 'org.springframework.boot', module:'spring-boot-starter-logging'}

In the application's Spring Config class, I added the following things:

 import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.EndpointAutoConfiguration;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.BeansEndpoint;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.HealthEndpoint;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.InfoEndpoint;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.RequestMappingEndpoint;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.EndpointHandlerMapping;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.EndpointMvcAdapter;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.HealthMvcEndpoint;  
 import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.mvc.MvcEndpoint;  

 @Configuration  
 @Import(EndpointAutoConfiguration.class)  
 public class MyAppSpringConfig {  

   @Bean  
   @Autowired  
   //Define the HandlerMapping similar to RequestHandlerMapping to expose the endpoint  
   public EndpointHandlerMapping endpointHandlerMapping(  
     Collection<? extends MvcEndpoint> endpoints  
   ){  
     return new EndpointHandlerMapping(endpoints);  
   }  

   @Bean  
   @Autowired  
   //define the HealthPoint endpoint  
   public HealthMvcEndpoint healthMvcEndpoint(HealthEndpoint delegate){  
     return new HealthMvcEndpoint(delegate, false);  
   }  

   @Bean  
   @Autowired  
   //define the Info endpoint  
   public EndpointMvcAdapter infoMvcEndPoint(InfoEndpoint delegate){  
      return new EndpointMvcAdapter(delegate);  
   }  

   @Bean  
   @Autowired  
   //define the beans endpoint  
   public EndpointMvcAdapter beansEndPoint(BeansEndpoint delegate){  
     return new EndpointMvcAdapter(delegate);  
   }  

   @Bean  
   @Autowired  
   //define the mappings endpoint  
   public EndpointMvcAdapter requestMappingEndPoint(  
     RequestMappingEndpoint delegate  
   ){  
     return new EndpointMvcAdapter(delegate);  
  }  
}  

If you want to get rid of one additional dependency then please refer to the blogpost.

UPDATE

Also you need to make sure you have a bean defined for RequestMappingHandlerAdapter, if you do not have it the ServletDispatcher will not be able to fetch the adapter for the handler of your HealthMvcEndpoint.

if you dont have it just add it to your bean configuration file

xml configurations:

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter">
        <property name="messageConverters">
            <list>
                <ref bean="jsonConverter"/>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="jsonConverter" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
        <property name="supportedMediaTypes" value="application/json" />
        <property name="prettyPrint" value="true" />
    </bean>
