when i run the application i do see this in console

Answer 1

Certain actuator endpoints are disabled, and have to be enabled before you can use them. I was trying to access /actuator/beans, which turns out to be just such an endpoint. According to the docs, all you need is to enable them in your application.properties file:

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=health,info,beans

Answer 2

Please check if you have configured server.servlet.contextPath=/myendpoint

If you have done like this please try localhost:8080/{server.servlet.contextPath}/actuator

Answer 3

I had the same 404 error, even after exactly following Spring documentation. What finally worked for me was deleting actuator dependency and the jar, and adding it again, with a mvn clean install. It worked :)

Answer 4

I'm using a spring boot. I got this simple message from spring boot.😇

Spring Boot /actuator returns 404 not found

here is my application.yml file.

server:
  port: 6150
  servlet:
    context-path: /


management:
  server:
    port: 6150
  endpoints:
    web:
      base-path: /actuator
      exposure:
        include: "*"

and then:

http://localhost:6150/actuator

I know this question is quit old and some situation(condition) is different.
I hopefully someone save their time.
