Resilience4J for Springboot - what is the use of registerHealthIndicator: true

In Resilience4J for spring boot what is the use of registerHealthIndicator: true ?

The document https://resilience4j.readme.io/docs/getting-started-3#health-endpoint says if we configure as below in application.yml we can see the status of circuit breakers in health endpoint.

management.health.circuitbreakers.enabled: true
resilience4j.circuitbreaker:
  configs:
    default:
      registerHealthIndicator: true

When i try my actuator health endpoint - http://localhost:8080/actuator/health i see only one status : {"status":"UP"} . There are no details about circuit breaker in it.

Is there any config that i am missing for health endpoint ?

Note: I am able to see the circuit breaker details in other endpoints like - http://localhost:8080/actuator/circuitbreakerevents - http://localhost:8080/actuator/circuitbreakers

Solution

  • In order to see detailed information in the /health endpoint you need to change the property management.endpoint.health.show-details configuration. It defines when to show full health details and by default its value is never. You need to actually configure it as always as follows:

    management.endpoint.health.show-details = always
