We have one application which is running on the Spring boot, We don't like to add a new application in the environment to manage this application, to do so we like to add spring boot admin feature to the same application. I tried that and able to see the spring admin screen but the client is not getting loaded.
I don't know this is good idea or not.
Please provide your suggestion.
I can see it is working both spring boot admin sever and client both application in one.
But I dont know this is good idea or not. Please provide your inputs
The Spring Boot Admin is invented for monitoring multiple services. In my opinion you should separate them so everyone will has it's job to follow the single responsibility principle. With separation when your application will fail the Spring Boot Admin will catch logs and maybe some additional data, if they are together you won't know what might happen.

Is there a way to access the Spring Boot Application logs through the REST webservice? I am running my Spring Boot microservices in Openshift, but dont have access to the Admin console, so I am wondering, if I can easily access the logs or copy them per demand somewhere.
I'm not interested in advices such configure ELK, etc, because I am not the owner of the infrastructure, just the microservices.
Many thanks
Finally I solved as follows. Store the logs into the file, connect microservice to SBA and check the logs there.
logging:
file: /log/application.log
And then use Spring Boot Admin, which allows you to see the logs. Hope it helps somebody.

My Spring MVC application is only a backend service with no front end screen.
I need to connect to Database and OAuth service in the backend in my application.
Since there are many parts missing (from MVC to boot), I'd recommend to create an empty boot project and fill in the mvc parts in the proper place. I could also recommend to use the Jhipster for generating a full spring boot boilerplate!
I'm currently trying to make a Spring Boot app. I've managed to create successfully user authentication using LDAP and custom logic.
However, I'm trying to add another layer of security on top of that, something like "htaccess" to prevent unauthorized users from even seeing the web page (client requirement), as well as stop Google from indexing the page. This can be a single predefined user (doesn't need to be connected to ldap auth).
I've read about configuring the tomcat realm, tomcat-users etc. but since it's Spring Boot app with embedded tomcat, I can't find a place to successfully configure it.
Does anyone have any idea how to create such setup?
