**Admin UI for Spring Boot applications**

Spring Boot Admin provides a web-based dashboard for monitoring and
managing [Spring Boot®](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) applications. It displays application health, metrics,
logs, thread information, and configuration through an intuitive web interface.

## Purpose & Goals

### Why Spring Boot Admin?

Spring Boot Actuator exposes rich runtime data, but consuming it through raw REST endpoints or JMX is cumbersome. Spring
Boot Admin bridges this gap with **operational visibility** out-of-the-box for any application that exposes actuator
endpoints—no custom dashboards or monitoring tools required.

### Design Philosophy

**Simplicity without sacrificing power.** Add a dependency and monitoring starts immediately. The interface stays
readable at a glance, while remaining production-ready and extensible for security, multi-application deployments, and
custom UIs.

### Who Benefits from Spring Boot Admin?

Development teams diagnose issues during development, operations teams monitor production, and DevOps/SRE teams fold it
into their observability stack. It scales from a single application to hundreds of microservices with minimal overhead.

## ✨ Features

- **Real-time Monitoring** - Application health, metrics, and performance dashboard
- **Log Viewer** - Stream and search application logs directly from the UI
- **Environment Inspector** - Browse application properties and environment variables
- **Thread Viewer** - Inspect thread dumps and thread information
- **HTTP Trace** - Monitor HTTP requests and responses
- **JMX Beans** - Manage and inspect JMX beans
- **Multi-Application Support** - Monitor multiple applications from a single server
- **Cross-Platform** - Monitor applications running on different Spring Boot versions
- **Fully Extensible** - Customize the UI and add custom views
- **Secure** - Built-in authentication and authorization support

## Compatibility

Spring Boot Admin versions track Spring Boot's major and minor versions as follows:

| Spring Boot | Spring Boot Admin |
|-------------|-------------------|
| 3.Y.Z       | 3.X.c             |
| 4.0.Y       | 4.0.c             |
| 4.1.Y       | 4.1.c             |

**Note:** You can monitor applications running on any Spring Boot version, independently of the admin server version.
For example, monitor a Spring Boot 2.7 application using the 2.7.y client with a 4.1.x
