Spring boot actuator "/health" is not working - spring-boot

Question

I have a running Springboot application which serves the URL http://localhost:8081/topics and returns me JSON response as expected.
I added actuator dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
as suggested in tutorial
But when I hit http://localhost:8081/health it does not give expected result. It says
{
"timestamp": 1497952368055,
"status": 404,
"error": "Not Found",
"message": "No message available",
"path": "/health"
}
Spring boot version is 1.5.4.RELEASE. And Java 1.8
What additional settings do I need to do ?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Do the following steps : -
Change the scope of actuator dependency from test to compile
Instead of using /health use /actuator/health
If you want to see details of the health status then addmanagement.endpoint.health.show-details=always in the application.properties file.

Answer 3

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>

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Maven dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
Application.properties
spring.profiles.active=local
server.port = 9292
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=env,health,metrics
