This API documentation describes Spring Boot Actuators web endpoints.
1. Overview
Before you proceed, you should read the following topics:
1.1. URLs
By default, all web endpoints are available beneath the path /actuator
with URLs of
the form /actuator/{id}
. The /actuator
base path can be configured by using the
management.endpoints.web.base-path
property, as shown in the following example:
management.endpoints.web.base-path=/manage
The preceding application.properties
example changes the form of the endpoint URLs from
/actuator/{id}
to /manage/{id}
. For example, the URL info
endpoint would become
/manage/info
.
1.2. Timestamps
All timestamps that are consumed by the endpoints, either as query parameters or in the request body, must be formatted as an offset date and time as specified in ISO 8601.
2. Audit Events (auditevents
)
The auditevents
endpoint provides information about the application’s audit events.
2.1. Retrieving Audit Events
To retrieve the audit events, make a GET
request to /actuator/auditevents
, as shown
in the following curl-based example:
$ curl 'http://localhost:8080/actuator/auditevents?principal=alice&after=2018-08-21T09%3A30%3A32.569Z&type=logout' -i -X GET
The preceding example retrieves logout
events for the principal, alice
, that occurred
after 09:37 on 7 November 2017 in the UTC timezone. The resulting response is similar to
the following:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 121
{
"events" : [ {
"timestamp" : "2018-08-21T09:30:32.571Z",
"principal" : "alice",
"type" : "logout"
} ]
}
2.1.1. Query Parameters
The endpoint uses query parameters to limit the events that it returns. The following table shows the supported query parameters:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
Restricts the events to those that occurred after the given time. Optional. |
|
Restricts the events to those with the given principal. Optional. |
|
