How to implement custom endpoint in Spring Boot actuator to health

Question

How would I implement a custom endpoint in SpringBoot to achieve the following:

http://localhost:8080/actuator/health/custom

where "custom" is the endpoint I want to implement that extends health.

Answer 1

That url is used to expose the Health checks for the application, if that is your situation, you only need to include the dependencies for the actuator :

<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId> </dependency>

and you can see the status of the app.

If you need something more specific, only configure the dependency as you can see here .

Also you can override the behavior of the healthchecks but that dependency have a lot of functionality.
