Cloud Foundry Support

Spring Boot Actuator includes additional support when you deploy to a compatible Cloud Foundry instance. The /cloudfoundryapplication path provides an alternative secured route to all @Endpoint beans.

Cloud Foundry Configuration

When running on Cloud Foundry, Spring Boot automatically configures:

• Cloud Foundry-specific health indicators
• Cloud Foundry application information
• Secure endpoint access through Cloud Foundry's security model

Basic Configuration

management:
  cloudfoundry:
    enabled: true
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: "*"

Cloud Foundry Health

@Component
public class CloudFoundryHealthIndicator implements HealthIndicator {

    @Override
    public Health health() {
        // Cloud Foundry specific health checks
        return Health.up()
            .withDetail("cloud-foundry", "available")
            .withDetail("instance-index", System.getenv("CF_INSTANCE_INDEX"))
            .withDetail("application-id", System.getenv("VCAP_APPLICATION"))
            .build();
    }
}

Best Practices

1. Security: Use Cloud Foundry's built-in security for actuator endpoints
2. Service Binding: Leverage VCAP_SERVICES for automatic configuration
3. Health Checks: Configure appropriate health endpoints for load balancer checks
4. Metrics: Export metrics to Cloud Foundry monitoring systems
