Spring-boot-admin: Can't integrate Spring Boot Admin Server 2 and Spring Boot Admin Client 2 with Spring Boot 2 in a single application

[dmitrysenkovich]

I'm migrating an application from Spring Boot to Spring Boot 2. Previously we had to use Spring Boot Admin Server and Client in a single application (i.e. the application was both a server and a client at the same). That is weird but we have to continue use it the same way at least for now.

At first I decided to make it work using a demo project:
https://github.com/dmitrysenkovich/spring_boot_admin_2_not_working

However, I'm getting an error:

ApplicationRegistrator: Failed to register application as Application(name=spring-boot-admin-sample-servlet, managementUrl=http://localhost:8080/actuator, healthUrl=http://localhost:8080/actuator/health, serviceUrl=http://localhost:8080/actuator/admin) at spring-boot-admin ([http://localhost:8080/instances]): 404 null. Further attempts are logged on DEBUG level

Maybe it may be a bug because a similar configuration (moved some properties under instance) works with Spring Boot Admin Server/Client 1.5.7 and Spring Boot 1.5.14.RELEASE. Now Spring Boot version is 2.0.4.RELEASE and Spring Boot Admin Client/Server is 2.0.2.

I need your help, here the link for the stackoverflow question releated:

Many thanks!

If you set the spring.boot.admin.context-path, you also have to include this suffix in the spring.boot.admin.client.url

@joshiste works, thanks! but what about having a complete example somewhere in docs? I could add it myself. and I've got one more idea: is it worth adding a starter for such case as I have? I mean having both server and client in the same app? I could try to make it myself as well if you find it useful

@dmitrysenkovich Sorry, but as mentioned in the FAQ running SBA included in your business application might bear some problems - so I don't want to embrace this setup. Hence there are intentionally no starters, guides or samples.
