Monitoring using ssh

Spring Boot provides remote access to the Boot application using ssh. The following command connects to the Spring Boot application from a terminal window. The password can be customized by adding the shell.auth.simple.user.password property in the application.properties file. The updated application.properties will look as follows:

    shell.auth.simple.user.password=admin 

Use a terminal window to connect to the remote boot application using the following code:

$ ssh -p 2000 user@localhost

When connected with the preceding command, similar actuator information can be accessed. The following is an example of the metrics information accessed through the CLI:

• help: lists all the options available
• dashboard: dashboard is one interesting feature, which shows a lot of system-level information
