Chapter 2. Accessing the Fuse Console for Spring Boot 2.x

Procedure

1. Add the following dependency to your Fuse application’s pom.xml file:

   <dependency>
     <groupId>io.hawt</groupId>
     <artifactId>hawtio-springboot</artifactId>
   </dependency>

   Note that you do not need to specify the exact version because it is provided by the Maven BOM.

2. Edit the src/main/resources/application.properties file:

   1. Set the following properties:

      • management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=hawtio,jolokia
      • hawtio.authenticationEnabled=false
      • management.endpoint.hawtio.enabled=true
      • management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled=true

   2. Optionally, set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property.

      By default for Spring Boot 2.x, the Fuse Console’s URL includes the context path (/actuator) of the management endpoints. For example:

      http://localhost:10001/actuator/hawtio/index.html

      To change this default URL, for example to specify http://localhost:10001/hawtio, set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property as shown here:

      management.endpoints.web.base-path=/

      Your application.properties settings should look similar to the following example:

      # ports
      
      server.port=8080
      
      management.server.port=10001
      
      # enable management endpoints for healthchecks and hawtio
      
      management.endpoints.enabled-by-default = false
      
      management.endpoint.hawtio.enabled = true
      
      management.endpoint.jolokia.enabled = true
      
      management.endpoints.health.enabled = true
      
      management.health.defaults.enabled=false
      
      camel.health.enabled=false
      
      camel.health.indicator.enabled=true
      
      management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=hawtio,jolokia
      
      hawtio.authenticationEnabled=false
      
      # change the URL so that it does not include the actuator folder
      
      management.endpoints.web.base-path=/

      Note

      By default, authentication for the Fuse Console on Spring Boot is disabled. Optionally, you can enable authentication by writing code specific to your Fuse Console distribution. Here is an example that you can use for guidance:

      https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/examples/springboot-authentication

3. Run the Fuse application:

   mvn spring-boot:run

4. To determine the port number for the Fuse Console URL, obtain the management.server.port value by looking at the value set in the src/main/resources/application.properties file. For example:

   management.server.port   = 10001

5. To open the Fuse Console in a browser, use the following URL syntax where nnnnn is the value of the management.server.port property:

   http://localhost:nnnnn/actuator/hawtio

   For example, if the management.server.port property value is 10001 and you have not set the management.endpoints.web.base-path property then the URL is:

   http://localhost:10001/actuator/hawtio/index.html
