Spring Boot - Actuator

If Prometheus scrapes metrics from a Spring Boot app at /actuator/prometheus, what HTTP status code should it receive if the endpoint is correctly exposed?

A500 Internal Server Error

B200 OK

C404 Not Found

D403 Forbidden

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand HTTP status codes
A 200 OK status means the request succeeded and the endpoint is available.
Step 2: Confirm endpoint exposure
If /actuator/prometheus is exposed correctly, Prometheus scraping will get a 200 OK with metrics data.
Final Answer:
200 OK -> Option B
Quick Check:
Successful scrape = 200 OK [OK]

Quick Trick: 200 means endpoint is reachable and working [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Expecting 404 if endpoint is exposed
Confusing 403 with successful access
Assuming 500 means success
