I'm trying to set up a JMX monitoring for a comand line app build with spring-boot.
According to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-actuator I just have to add the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
Now I start my app, open VisualVM and I already see my application PID.
But how can I now access the metrics like /health etc that are mentioned on the actuator page? As this is a comand line app, I don't have any HTTP path that I can execute.
How can I see those metrics via JXM?

The first part of monitoring Spring Boot applications is choosing a metrics database. By default, Spring Boot will configure a Micrometer metrics registry in every application. This default implementation collects a pre-defined set of application metrics such as memory and CPU usage, HTTP requests, and a few others.
Java Management Extensions (JMX) provide a standard mechanism to monitor and manage applications. By default, Spring Boot exposes management endpoints as JMX MBeans under the org. springframework. boot domain.
If you want to access JMX beans with JVisualVM, you need to install the VisualVM-MBeans plugin (go to Tools -> Plugins -> Available Plugins). You can also use JConsole, which can access JMX beans by default.
