Ostara

Ostara is an open source desktop app designed to simplify the management and monitoring of Spring Boot applications. Ostara connects to services using the Spring Boot Actuator API. It’s a Spring Boot Admin alternative that aims to make the process more user-friendly and simplify the setup process by removing the need for dependencies and changes to your code. It allows you to gain insights into application performance, troubleshoot issues, and perform actions on your services across different environments.

Key Features

• Effortless Setup - Download the Ostara application and connect it directly to your Spring Boot Actuator, requiring no additional dependencies or code changes.
• Application Management - Monitor and manage multiple environments, and easily sort and group your services based on your environment architecture.
• Dashboards and Metrics - Gain insights into service health and performance through multiple dashboards and explore Spring Boot Actuator metrics.
• View Application Properties - Access and view all current application properties, including the active Spring profiles.
• Bean Dependency Graph - Utilize the unique UI to analyze and improve the decoupling of your application's dependencies.
• Thread Profiling Tool - Dive into the internal workings of your application's threads for advanced troubleshooting.
• Loggers and Caches - Update log levels and evict caches for single/multiple services with one click.
• Metric Monitoring and Notifications - Configure predefined or custom notification rules to receive alerts when your service is degraded.
• Health Monitoring - Receive instant notifications when services go down.
• Import/Export Settings - Easily share your configuration settings with colleagues.
