Pod Health Indicator
Spring Boot uses HealthIndicator
to expose info about the health of an application.
That makes it really useful for exposing health-related information to the user and makes it a good fit for use as readiness probes.
The Kubernetes health indicator (which is part of the core module) exposes the following info:
-
Pod name, IP address, namespace, service account, node name, and its IP address
-
A flag that indicates whether the Spring Boot application is internal or external to Kubernetes
You can disable this HealthContributor
by setting management.health.kubernetes.enabled
to false
in application.[properties | yaml]
.
