Spring boot actuator "/health" is not working

Do the following steps : -

1. Change the scope of actuator dependency from test to compile

2. Instead of using /health use /actuator/health

3. If you want to see details of the health status then addmanagement.endpoint.health.show-details=always in the application.properties file.

In your dependency you have declared

<scope>test</scope>

It means that

test

This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution phases.

If you want it available for normal use of the application remove <scope>test</scope> or change it to <scope>compile</scope>

In Spring Boot 2.0.0 you have to use /actuator/health and in the application.properties file add the following line:

management.endpoint.health.show-details=always

Add Maven dependency

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

Application.properties

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include= "*" include all endpoints on actuator or management.endpoints.web.exposure.include= health if need only health endpoint
