Spring boot admin No applications registered.

I’m trying use Spring Boot Admin Server but in the dashboard my application is not listed there.

What did I do, in my pom.xml I added the following dependencies:

In my SbadmApplication Class:

package br.com.teste.sbadm.sbadm;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

import de.codecentric.boot.admin.server.config.EnableAdminServer;

@EnableAdminServer
@SpringBootApplication
public class SbadmApplication {

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

And in my application.properties:

spring.boot.admin.url=http://localhost:8084
management.security.enabled=false

But when I open the Spring Boot Admin dashboard I do not have any application.

After some minutes with the Application runs I get a Exception:

I already disabled my firewall without success…

Know I saw a waring in the console:

I discovered the problem, the problem was the URL I was used:

spring.boot.admin.url

Instead of:

spring.boot.admin.client.url

Thank you for your help!

Hi @joshiste , as I have previously mentioned, there are many unnecessary issues raised in SO in bulk and github tickets which could be solved just by giving a simple example link in the doc… I think we should re consider this PR :https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin/pull/911 I have added everything for a beginner for both client and server apps with and without security…
