Configuration
In addition to discovering and registering services, Spring Boot Admin makes use of metadata to control how individual clients are handled by the server. Metadata allows you to fine-tune the behavior of the admin server for each registered service and can influence how services are displayed, monitored, or interacted with. A set of well-defined metadata attributes is recognized and evaluated directly on the server side. Because the Spring Boot Admin client itself relies on the same Spring Cloud interfaces, these metadata properties can also be applied consistently on the client, ensuring a unified configuration approach across your entire system.
