Spring Boot Actuator Skill

Overview

• Deliver production-ready observability for Spring Boot services using Actuator endpoints, probes, and Micrometer integration.
• Standardize health, metrics, and diagnostics configuration while delegating deep reference material to references/.
• Support platform requirements for secure operations, SLO reporting, and incident diagnostics.

When to Use

• Trigger: "enable actuator endpoints" – Bootstrap Actuator for a new or existing Spring Boot service.
• Trigger: "secure management port" – Apply Spring Security policies to protect management traffic.
• Trigger: "configure health probes" – Define readiness and liveness groups for orchestrators.
• Trigger: "export metrics to prometheus" – Wire Micrometer registries and tune metric exposure.
• Trigger: "debug actuator startup" – Inspect condition evaluations and startup metrics when endpoints are missing or slow.
