Spring Boot Admin by codecentric

Admin UI for Spring Boot applications

Spring Boot Admin provides a web-based dashboard for monitoring and managing Spring Boot® applications. It displays application health, metrics, logs, thread information, and configuration through an intuitive web interface.

Purpose & Goals

Why Spring Boot Admin?

Spring Boot Actuator exposes rich runtime data, but consuming it through raw REST endpoints or JMX is cumbersome. Spring Boot Admin bridges this gap with operational visibility out-of-the-box for any application that exposes actuator endpoints—no custom dashboards or monitoring tools required.

Design Philosophy

Simplicity without sacrificing power. Add a dependency and monitoring starts immediately. The interface stays readable at a glance, while remaining production-ready and extensible for security, multi-application deployments, and custom UIs.

Who Benefits from Spring Boot Admin?

Development teams diagnose issues during development, operations teams monitor production, and DevOps/SRE teams fold it into their observability stack. It scales from a single application to hundreds of microservices with minimal overhead.

✨ Features

• Real-time Monitoring - Application health, metrics, and performance dashboard
• Log Viewer - Stream and search application logs directly from the UI
• Environment Inspector - Browse application properties and environment variables
• Thread Viewer - Inspect thread dumps and thread information
• HTTP Trace - Monitor HTTP requests and responses
• JMX Beans - Manage and inspect JMX beans
• Multi-Application Support - Monitor multiple applications from a single server
• Cross-Platform - Monitor applications running on different Spring Boot versions
• Fully Extensible - Customize the UI and add custom views
• Secure - Built-in authentication and authorization support

Compatibility

Spring Boot Admin versions track Spring Boot's major and minor versions as follows:

| Spring Boot | Spring Boot Admin | |-------------|-------------------| | 3.Y.Z | 3.X.c | | 4.0.Y | 4.0.c | | 4.1.Y | 4.1.c |

Note: You can monitor applications running on any Spring Boot version, independently of the admin server version. For example, monitor a Spring Boot 2.7 application using the 2.7.y client with a 4.1.x admin server.
