Spring Boot production monitoring

Question

Spring Boot Actuator exposes a lot of metrics and information of the deployed container. However, production operations guys probably don't want to stare at pure JSON objects on their browser :)

What would be good "standard" tools for monitoring this in production? This would include graphs, triggers for alerts, etc.

Answer 1

The spring-boot-admin project is also a great monitoring tool that your production support guys may be interested in. It doesn't process and graph the metrics at all like graphite+grafana, but it is a great simple tool to setup and use to see the state of all of your running spring-boot applications.
