Unable to get /hystrix.stream in Spring Cloud

Question

I have created a microservice with following dependencies of Spring cloud version Camden.SR2. Spring Boot 1.4.1. http://localhost:8080/hystrix.stream is not responding.

If I make the Spring Cloud version as Brixton.*(RELEASE, SR1,...), I get only ping: as reply in browser.

spring.application.name=sample-service
server.port = 8080

Application

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableCircuitBreaker
public class SampleApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SampleApplication.class, args);
    }
}

In Spring Boot 1.5.x Hystrix.stream will only show data if there are actually call's being executed that are annotated with @HystrixCommand

If you annotate a method it will publish data to the stream when its being used.
