+# Java Spring Boot 2 application monitoring with Netdata
+
+Monitors one or more Java Spring-boot applications depending on configuration.
+Netdata can be used to monitor running Java [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/) applications that expose their metrics with the use of the **Spring Boot Actuator** included in Spring Boot library.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The Spring Boot Actuator exposes these metrics over HTTP and is very easy to use:
+
+-   add `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator` to your application dependencies
+-   set `endpoints.metrics.sensitive=false` in your `application.properties`
+
+You can create custom Metrics by add and inject a PublicMetrics in your application.
+This is a example to add custom metrics:
+
+```java
+package com.example;
+
+import org.springframework.boot.actuate.endpoint.PublicMetrics;
+import org.springframework.boot.actuate.metrics.Metric;
+import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
+
+import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
+import java.lang.management.MemoryPoolMXBean;
+import java.util.ArrayList;
+import java.util.Collection;
+
+@Service
+public class HeapPoolMetrics implements PublicMetrics {
+
+    private static final String PREFIX = "mempool.";
+    private static final String KEY_EDEN = PREFIX + "eden";
+    private static final String KEY_SURVIVOR = PREFIX + "survivor";
+    private static final String KEY_TENURED = PREFIX + "tenured";
+
+    @Override
+    public Collection<Metric<?>> metrics() {
+        Collection<Metric<?>> result = new ArrayList<>(4);
+        for (MemoryPoolMXBean mem : ManagementFactory.getMemoryPoolMXBeans()) {
+            String poolName = mem.getName();
+            String name = null;
+            if (poolName.indexOf("Eden Space") != -1) {
+                name = KEY_EDEN;
+            } else if (poolName.indexOf("Survivor Space") != -1) {
+                name = KEY_SURVIVOR;
+            } else if (poolName.indexOf("Tenured Gen") != -1 || poolName.indexOf("Old Gen") != -1) {
+                name = KEY_TENURED;
+            }
+
+            if (name != null) {
+                result.add(newMemoryMetric(name, mem.getUsage().getMax()));
+                result.add(newMemoryMetric(name + ".init", mem.getUsage().getInit()));
+                result.add(newMemoryMetric(name + ".committed", mem.getUsage().getCommitted()));
+                result.add(newMemoryMetric(name + ".used", mem.getUsage().getUsed()));
+            }
+        }
+        return result;
+    }
+
+    private Metric<Long> newMemoryMetric(String name, long bytes) {
+        return new Metric<>(name, bytes / 1024);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Please refer [Spring Boot Actuator: Production-ready Features](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-features.html#production-ready) and [81. Actuator - Part IX. ‘How-to’ guides](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto.html#howto-actuator) for more information.
+
+## Charts
+
+1.  **Response Codes** in requests/s
+
+    -   1xx
+    -   2xx
+    -   3xx
+    -   4xx
+    -   5xx
+    -   others
+
+2.  **Threads**
+
+    -   daemon
+    -   total
+
+3.  **GC Time** in milliseconds and **GC Operations** in operations/s
+
+    -   Copy
+    -   MarkSweep
+    -   ...
+
+4.  **Heap Memory Usage** in KB
+
+    -   used
+    -   committed
+
+## Usage
+
+Edit the `python.d/springboot.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/springboot.conf
+```
+
+This module defines some common charts, and you can add custom charts by change the configurations.
+
+The configuration format is like:
+
+```yaml
+<id>:
+  name: '<name>'
+  url:  '<metrics endpoint>' # ex. http://localhost:8080/metrics
+  user: '<username>'         # optional
+  pass: '<password>'         # optional
+  defaults:
+    [<chart-id>]: true|false
+  extras:
+  - id: '<chart-id>'
+    options:
+      title:  '***'
+      units:  '***'
+      family: '***'
+      context: 'springboot.***'
+      charttype: 'stacked' | 'area' | 'line'
+    lines:
+    - { dimension: 'myapp_ok',  name: 'ok',  algorithm: 'absolute', multiplier: 1, divisor: 1} # it shows "myapp.ok" metrics
+    - { dimension: 'myapp_ng',  name: 'ng',  algorithm: 'absolute', multiplier: 1, divisor: 1} # it shows "myapp.ng" metrics
+```
+
+By default, it creates `response_code`, `threads`, `gc_time`, `gc_ope` abd `heap` charts.
+You can disable the default charts by set `defaults.<chart-id>: false`.
+
+The dimension name of extras charts should replace `.` to `_`.
