Spring Boot Actuator Sample

You have just created a simple Spring Boot project in Groovy incorporating the Actuator. This includes everything you need to run the application. In this case, that's a simple JSON endpoint.

In this project you get:

  • A Gradle build file
  • An application class, SampleApplication, implementing a single JSON endpoint
  • A JUnit test case for SampleApplication

You can build and run this sample using Gradle (>1.6):

$ gradle run

If you want to run the application outside of Gradle, then first build the JARs and then use the java command:

$ gradle build
$ java -jar build/libs/*.jar

Then access the app via a browser (or curl) on http://localhost:8080.
