I am trying to migrate my springboot application written in kotlin to azure.
I added spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault-secrets:4.5.0 dependency in my app, and added below configurations to application.properties.
my.secret=${my-azure-secret}
spring.cloud.azure.keyvault.secret.property-source-enabled=true
spring.cloud.azure.keyvault.secret.property-sources[0].endpoint=<my-vault>.vault.azure.net/
After I add this, the spring boot initialization doesn't work any more and i can't find any logs.
log.info { "Log before springboot initialize" }
SpringApplication(MyApplication::class.java).run(*args)
log.info { "Log after springboot initialize" }
So, Log before springboot initialize is logged, and after that nothing happens (or I can't find any logs afterwards)
I already verified it is not related to any logback settings because if I remove the property spring.cloud.azure.keyvault.secret.property-sources[0].endpoint from application.properties, it boots up properly.
(I also tried to add the additional dependency spring-cloud-azure-dependencies:4.5.0 )
Any clues/hints what is happening and how to resolve it ?
Thanks.
Here I was able to boot the spring application using the same dependencies.
But here I used the latest version of spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault-secrets i.e. 5.0.0 also my spring boot version is 3.0.2
my dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency> <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.azure.spring/spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault-secrets -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure.spring</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-azure-starter-keyvault-secrets</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency></dependencies>
Also I use windows so instead of my_azure_secret instead of the my-azure-secret
output:

I was able to integrate Prometheus with this application using micrometer-registry-prometheus dependency. I had set up Prometheus to run in a Docker container in my local system. I used the following set of commands-
docker pull prom/prometheus
docker run -p 9090:9090 -v D:/Workspaces/STS/server_sent_events_blog/micrometer-new-relic/prometheus.yml:/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml prom/prometheus
prometheus.yml
global:
scrape_interval: 4s
evaluation_interval: 4s
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'spring_micrometer'
metrics_path: '/actuator/prometheus'
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ['my_ip_address:8080']
When I navigated to localhost:9090/targets I can see that Prometheus dashboard shows my application details and that it can scrape data from it. And in the dashboard, I can see my custom metrics as well along with other metrics.
So my question is I want to achieve the same thing using New Relic. I have added the micrometer-registry-new-relic pom dependency. I have shared the application.properties file as well. I can see logs in my console saying it is sending data to New Relic-
2021-10-24 12:42:04.889 DEBUG 2672 --- [trics-publisher] i.m.n.NewRelicInsightsApiClientProvider : successfully sent 58 metrics to New Relic.
Questions:
What are the next steps?
Do I need a local running server of New Relic as I did for Prometheus?
Where can I visualize this data? I have an account in New Relic, I see nothing there
https://discuss.newrelic.com/t/integrate-spring-boot-actuator-with-new-relic/126732
As per the above link, Spring Bootctuator pushes metric as an event type “SpringBootSample”.
With NRQL query we can confirm this-
FROM SpringBootSample SELECT max(value) TIMESERIES 1 minute WHERE metricName = 'jvmMemoryCommitted'
What does the result of this query indicate? Is it a metric related to my application?
Here is the GitHub link to the demo that I have shared here.
I did not find any clear instructions on this, there are some examples out there but that uses Java agent.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
From what I have learned so far.
There are 3 ways to integrate New Relic with a Spring Boot Application-
Using the Java Agent provided by New Relic
Using New Relic's Micrometer Dependency
Micormeter's New Relic Dependency
1. Configuration using Java Agent Provided By New Relic
Download the Java Agent from this URL- https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/
Extract it.
Modify the newrelic.yml file inside the extracted folder to inlcude your
license_key:
app_name:
Create a SpringBoot application with some REST endpoints.
Build the application.
Navigate to the root path where you have extracted the newrelic java agent.
Enter this command
java -javagent:<path to your new relic jar>\newrelic.jar -jar <path to your application jar>\<you rapplication jar name>.jar
To view the application metrics-
Log in to your New Relic account.
Go to Explorer Tab.
Click on Services-APM
You can see the name of your application(which you had mentioned in the newrelic.yml file) listed there.
Click on the application name.
The dashboard should look something like this.
Using New Relic's Micrometer Dependency is the preferred way to do it.
2. Configuration using New Relic's Micrometer Dependency
Add this dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.newrelic.telemetry</groupId>
<artifactId>micrometer-registry-new-relic</artifactId>
<version>0.7.0</version>
</dependency>
Modify the MicrometerConfig.java class to add your API Key and Application name.
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

public class MicrometerConfig {
#Bean
public NewRelicRegistryConfig newRelicConfig() {
return new NewRelicRegistryConfig() {
#Override
public String get(String key) {
return null;
}
#Override
public String apiKey() {
return "your_api_key"; // for production purposes take it from config file
}
#Override
public Duration step() {
return Duration.ofSeconds(5);
}
#Override
public String serviceName() {
return "your_service_name"; // take it from config file
}
};
}
#Bean
public NewRelicRegistry newRelicMeterRegistry(NewRelicRegistryConfig config) throws UnknownHostException {
NewRelicRegistry newRelicRegistry = NewRelicRegistry.builder(config)
.commonAttributes(new Attributes().put("host", InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName())).build();
newRelicRegistry.config().meterFilter(MeterFilter.ignoreTags("plz_ignore_me"));
newRelicRegistry.config().meterFilter(MeterFilter.denyNameStartsWith("jvm.threads"));
newRelicRegistry.start(new NamedThreadFactory("newrelic.micrometer.registry"));
return newRelicRegistry;
}
}
Run the application.
To view the Application metrics-
Log in to your New Relic account.
Go to Explorer Tab.
Click on Services-OpenTelemetry
You can see the name of your application(which you had mentioned in the MicrometerConfig file) listed there.
Click on the application name.
The dashboard should look something like this.
What are the next steps?
It seems you are done and successfully shipped metrics to NewRelic.
Do I need a local running server of New Relic as I did for Prometheus?
No, NewRelic is a SaaS offering.
Where can I visualize this data? I have an account in New Relic, I see nothing there
It seems you already found it (screenshot).
What does the result of this query indicate? Is it a metric related to my application?
From the screenshot, I can't tell if it is your application but this seems to be the jvm.memory.committed metric pushed by a Spring Boot app (so likely).
In order to see if this is your app or not, you can add common tags which can tell the name of the app and some kind of an instance ID (or hostname?) in case you have multiple instances from the same app, see:
Spring Boot Docs (I would do this)
Micrometer Docs (do this if you don't use Spring Boot or want to do something tricky)
Real-World Example
I'll start off by saying I've looked at and tried the solutions in every question regarding this that I can find. The biggest problem is that most of these solutions are very old, and Spring Boot has changed a lot in the last several years. To be clear, I've tried this, this, this, this, and more. I've also read numerous tutorials. Nothing works.
I have a brand new Spring Boot application and I'm trying to get JSP rendering working with it. These are my dependencies:

My project is laid out as follows:
- source
- production
- java
- [my source code packages]
- resources
- WEB-APP
- jsp
- initialization
- begin.jsp
- [my resource packages]
- test
- java
- resources
"WEB-APP/jsp" is just the latest iteration I've tried. I've tried "WEB-INF/jsp", "META-INF/jsp", "webapp/jsp", no parent (just "jsp"), etc., all with the same results.
I know the parent directories are a bit non-standard, but it's configured correctly in Maven and I've confirmed it's not the source of my problems:
<build>
<sourceDirectory>source/production/java</sourceDirectory>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>source/production/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
...
</build>
My Application class is as follows:
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages="com.my.project")
#EnableWebMvc
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.my.project.repository")
#EntityScan("com.my.project.model")
public class Application
{
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(Application.class);
public Application()
{
}
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver()
{
LOGGER.info("Constructing InternalResourceViewResolver[JstlView]");
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-APP/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
resolver.setRedirectContextRelative(true);
resolver.setRedirectHttp10Compatible(false);
return resolver;
}
public static void main(final String[] args)
{
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
And my Controller:
#Controller
public class InitializationController
{
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(InitializationController.class);
#GetMapping("/initialize_application")
public String beginInitialization(ModelMap model)
{
LOGGER.info("Beginning initialization");
...
LOGGER.info("Returning view");
return "initialization/begin";
}
...
}
On startup I see the "Constructing InternalResourceViewResolver" log entry (my view resolver bean is created). When I go to /initialize_application, I get the following error:
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
Sun Oct 18 21:45:26 CDT 2020
There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).
Looking in the log again, I see "Beginning initialization" and "Returning view," so I know that the 404 is for my JSP and not my controller. My controller is working.
Other things I've tried:
Initially I did not have #EnableWebMvc on my application. Without it, the log was empty except my log statements. When I added #EnableWebMvc, this is now logged with the 404: No mapping for GET /WEB-APP/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp (or whatever other directory I've tried other than "WEB-APP").
I've tried running this directly on the pure command line with mvn spring-boot:run
I've tried running this in IntelliJ IDEA with a Maven run configuration and command spring-boot:run (same result)
I've tried both <packaging>jar</packaging> and <packaging>war</packaging>, but neither make a difference, because neither a JAR nor a WAR are ever made. Maven runs the application directly out of the target/classes directory instead of creating an artifact.
When I've tried WEB-INF or META-INF instead of WEB-APP or webapp or something else, I've seen a logged warning: Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp]
I have also confirmed that my JSPs are present in target/classes/WEB-APP/jsp (or whatever other directory I've tried other than "WEB-APP"), so they do exist.
I'm at a loss how to proceed. I'm beginning to think I need to ditch Spring Boot and stick with a traditional boilerplate Spring Web MVC application with a Servlet config and a Tomcat installation, but I was really excited about the "just runs" aspect of Spring Boot. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE 1
After reading this Spring documentation about JSP limitations, I now know that I have to use <packaging>war</packaging>, and I'm using that now, but it hasn't made a difference. I'm starting to suspect that the underlying problem here is that maven spring-boot:run doesn't create a WAR and run it, it just builds everything to target/classes and runs it from there.
Also, after finding this old, official Spring boot samples application, I've changed my project structure a little:
- source
- production
- java
- [my source code packages]
- resources
- [my resource packages]
- webapp
- META-INF
- WEB-INF
- jsp
- initialization
- begin.jsp
- test
- java
- resources
Updated my view resolver configuration:
resolver.setPrefix("/jsp/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
And added this to my POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3.1</version>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>source/production/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If I run mvn package, my WAR gets created correctly (classes and JSPs all where they should be), but neither mvn spring-boot:run nor mvn package spring-boot:run work—I still get 404 errors resolving my JSPs.
The old Spring Boot sample application linked to above puts the JSPs in WEB-INF/jsp, but I can't do that, because that results in the warning Path with "WEB-INF" or "META-INF": [WEB-INF/jsp/initialization/begin.jsp] (and still 404). What's frustrating is that this sample application doesn't exist anymore, nor does any new variation of it. I can't find any updated version that works with the newest version of Spring Boot. The sample application was deleted in 2.2.x.
Can you try by changing the scope of tomcat-embed-jasper to provided as this dependency is needed to compile JSPs.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<version>[9.0.38,)</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Edit:
I looked for various spring-boot + jsp projects over internet. I noticed that they have they also have spring-boot-starter-tomcat with provided scope. Can you try this.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<version>[2.3.4.RELEASE,3)</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

https://dzone.com/articles/spring-boot-2-with-jsp-view
Edit-2 :
So this time i created a new springboot project. Did bare minimum setup to get jsp rendered. So basically i followed this tutorial and my project was running fine.
Then I replaced the pom.xml with yours and the i got the same error you mentioned in the question.
Then while doing trial and error i removed the <version>[9.0.38,)</version> from <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId> and it started working for me.
<!--I have removed version here and it started working for me-->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
<!-- <version>[9.0.38,)</version>-->
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Although i have different directory structure. But as you mentioned that is not the cause of issue.
I have uploaded the project to github. Feel free to pull it run it locally.

Assuming the following location for your web content (which should be outside the classpath AFAIK) source/production/webapp. Spring Boot will ignore this due to a hardcoded path in DocumentRoot for detection of directories when running from the command-line or IDE (it will work when building a war and running that).
As a workaround you can add a TomcatContextCustomizer as a bean to detect the path and set it as the correct base.
package com.my.project;
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer
{
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application)
{
return application.sources(DemoApplication.class);
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
public TomcatContextCustomizer docBaseCustomizer()
{
return new TomcatContextCustomizer()
{
public void customize(Context context)
{
File root = new File("source/production/webapp");
if (root.exists() && root.isDirectory())
{
context.setDocBase(root.getAbsolutePath());
}
}
}
}
}
Now add the following to your application.properties
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/jsp/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
NOTE: The removal of the other annotations can only be done if your #SpringBootApplication annotated class is in the com.my.project package. It will then automatically detect the other classes (like entities and repositories).
I want to setup the Keycloak adapter (v7.0.0) for a Spring Boot 2.1.x backend. Somehow this doesn't work as expected and mvn clean spring:boot-run shows errors.
To get a playground i cloned this working repo. After a successful build with the old versions of Keycloak and Spring Boot i changed the dependencies (and versions).
For the POM i included:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
<artifactId>keycloak-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version>
</dependency>
and
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.keycloak.bom</groupId>
<artifactId>keycloak-adapter-bom</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
and provide properties via the application.yml file:
keycloak:
auth-server-url: http://127.0.0.1:8081/auth/
resource: persons-app
realm: PersonRealm
public-client: true
principal-attribute: preferred_username
This follows Keycloaks docs.
The result is an error showing:
Description:
Parameter 1 of method setKeycloakSpringBootProperties in org.keycloak.adapters.springboot.KeycloakBaseSpringBootConfiguration required a bean of type 'org.keycloak.adapters.springboot.KeycloakSpringBootConfigResolver' that could not be found.
Action:
Consider defining a bean of type 'org.keycloak.adapters.springboot.KeycloakSpringBootConfigResolver' in your configuration.
This is already defined. So thats the problem. I don't know if there are certain restriction of what versions of Keycloak and Spring Boot work together. Maybe someone could explain what i missed here or what versions to set. Thanks!
The same question has been asked here: Issues running example keycloak spring-boot app I'll point you to the other one for more information about the issue and a temporary workaround.
At the moment there is no ultimate solution, it's an issue with the Keycloak Spring Boot Adapter 7.0.0. If you use the previous version of the adapter (6.0.1) then it will work fine, even if the Keycloak server is running version 7.0.0 (you just don't get the new features introduced in the new adapter).
Can someone answer this silly question - How to configure Thymeleaf in Spring boot release 2.1.4?
I have declared the right dependencies:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
Also the config:
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan("org.mystuff.myproj")
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Init extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
And the controller looks regular:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/a")
public class IndexController {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(IndexController.class);
#PostConstruct
private void test() {
logger.info("********************************************************************");
}
#RequestMapping("/")
private String index() {
return "index2";
}
I do see that the #Controller bean gets initiated (the "*****..."), but when I try to locate in the logs the "mapped" or atleast something related, the only thing I find is:
2019-04-23 15:55:15 WARN [localhost-startStop-1] JpaBaseConfiguration$JpaWebConfiguration$JpaWebMvcConfiguration.openEntityManagerInViewInterceptor: spring.jpa.open-in-view is enabled by default. Therefore, database queries may be performed during view rendering. Explicitly configure spring.jpa.open-in-view to disable this warning
2019-04-23 15:55:16 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] WelcomePageHandlerMapping.<init>: Adding welcome page: ServletContext resource [/index.html]
And I'm failing to find an answer to the "What has changed" question.
After a while I realized that Spring Boot 2.1.4 requires TomCat 9, while I was using 8.5.
After this I started to get progress, but still the Thymeleaf isn't working, and if /templates has a index.html, the default Resolver is used, which ignores Thymeleaf's "fragments" and stuff (loads like a regular html page).
