Spring Boot Actuator - Cannot Disable Default Management Health Checks

See original GitHub issue

When building a Spring Boot 1.1.9.RELEASE application with Spring Boot Actuator enabled, I cannot seem to disable the built in management.health checks. The health checks in question are:

management.health.db.enabled=false
management.health.diskspace.enabled=false
management.health.mongo.enabled=false
management.health.rabbit.enabled=false
management.health.redis.enabled=false
management.health.solr.enabled=false

After adding these lines to my application.properties file, I get errors on app start such as:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'managementServerProperties': Could not bind properties; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'health[diskspace][enabled]' of bean class [org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.ManagementServerProperties]: Cannot access indexed value in property referenced in indexed property path 'health[diskspace][enabled]'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'health[diskspace][enabled]' of bean class [org.springframework.boot.actuate.autoconfigure.ManagementServerProperties]: Bean property 'health[diskspace][enabled]' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

Basically, I don’t want Spring reporting that services are down that I don’t even have in my project, but when I try to disable them, the app breaks. I have custom health checks that I want to register, but that’s all I want.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

@snicoll Perfect, that solved my issue. For future users who may run into the same issue, I’d recommend updating the keys displayed on http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#common-application-properties

The # HEALTH INDICATORS section lists the management namespace for these keys

Thanks everybody!
