Hawtio Spring Boot 3 Example with Log4J2

This sample application shows how to run Hawtio with Spring Boot 3 and Log4J2.

How to run

Run with:

mvn spring-boot:run

Hawtio is exposed at the Actuator management port configured using management.server.port in application.properties. Browse Hawtio via the following URL: http://localhost:10001/actuator/hawtio/index.html

The actual application is running on port 10000 (server.port in application.properties).

Alternative configurations

Alternative management endpoint base paths

If your preference is to avoid running Hawtio under the /actuator path, you can set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property in application.properties:

management.endpoints.web.base-path=/

Hawtio will then be available at http://localhost:10001/hawtio/index.html.

Alternative hawtio endpoint paths

You can also customize the endpoint path of the Hawtio actuator endpoint by setting the management.endpoints.web.path-mapping.hawtio property in application.properties:

management.endpoints.web.path-mapping.hawtio=hawtio/console

Alternative ports & context paths

Alternative ports and context path configurations can be tested by changing the following properties in application.properties:

server.port=10000
server.servlet.context-path=/sample-app
management.port=10000
management.server.servlet.context-path=/management

Using the above configuration, the server will use port 10000 and the custom context path sample-app. The Actuator management endpoints and Hawtio will also run on port 10000 using the custom management context path management. The URLs for accessing the application and Hawtio are as follows:

• Application: http://localhost:10000/sample-app/
• Hawtio: http://localhost:10000/sample-app/management/actuator/hawtio
