Dashboard Service - Actuator endpoints

Introduction

Actuator endpoints provide real-time insights and management capabilities. These endpoints expose information about your application's health, metrics, and various operational aspects. This documentation will guide you on how to add a user and how to call these endpoints.

How to add a user

Only users with role ROLE_ACTUATOR can access endpoints. To add a user, follow these steps:

1. Add the following configuration properties to application.yml. This will add user with username "blueriq" and password "welcome" and assign the role ROLE_ACTUATOR to it.
   

   spring:
     security:
       user:
         name: blueriq
         password: '{noop}welcome'
         roles:
          - ACTUATOR

How to call endpoints

The actuator endpoint can be called using the HTTP protocol:

Make sure to replace "{url}" with application domain.

GET http://{url}/actuator/health
Authorization: Basic blueriq welcome
