PCF Heathwatch 1.4 just got a new UI

PCF Healthwatch is a service for monitoring and alerting on the current health, performance, and capacity of PCF to help operators understand the operational state of their PCF deployment

Finally got around to installing the new PCF Healthwatch 1.4 and the first thing which struck me was the UI main dashboard page. It's clear what I need to look at in seconds and the alerts on the right hand side also useful

Some screen shots below

Disabling Spring Security if you don't require it

When using Spring Cloud Services Starter Config Client dependency for example Spring Security will also be included (Config servers will be protected by OAuth2). As a result this will also enable basic authentication to all our service endpoints on your application which may not be the desired result here if your just building a demo for example

Add the following to conditionally disable security in your Spring Boot main class
  
package com.example.employeeservice;

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

import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableDiscoveryClient
public class EmployeeServiceApplication {

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

    @Configuration
    static class ApplicationSecurity extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

        @Override
        public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
            web
                    .ignoring()
                    .antMatchers("/**");
        }
    }
}
