Spring Boot Actuator
Health, traffic, latency, CPU, memory, and restarts in one focused dashboard.
Lightweight monitoring for Spring Boot
Turn Spring Boot Actuator into a self-hosted dashboard with history, charts, restart detection, and local SQLite storage. Quarkus, Micronaut, and other applications can use the same dashboard.
One Go binary. About 15 MiB idle. No external monitoring services.
Run StatLite locally
Open http://127.0.0.1:9090. StatLite monitors itself out of the box, so you can explore the dashboard before configuring your application.
Terminal
docker run --rm \
-p 127.0.0.1:9090:9090 \
ghcr.io/pvrlabs/statlite:latestInstall StatLite
Install the latest release on macOS or Linux with the command that fits your workflow.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PVRLabs/statlite/main/install.sh | sh
Installs to ~/.local/bin. Add it to your PATH if it is not already included.
Designed for private or protected networks. Built-in authentication is not included.
A focused view of your applications
Lightweight
About 15 MiB idle in current measurements, with one Go binary and one local SQLite database.
Local
Self-hosted history with no external monitoring service required.
Host metrics
CPU, memory, and filesystem capacity through self-monitoring or applications that expose them.
Built for Spring Boot, usable beyond it
Actuator already exposes useful metrics. StatLite adds focused history and charts without asking you to deploy a full Prometheus and Grafana stack. Quarkus and Micronaut are supported too.
Compare all three in the JDBC experiment on a 1 GiB VM, or see the earlier Spring Boot and Quarkus comparison on 512 MB.
Spring Boot Actuator
Health and metrics endpoints for Spring Boot applications.
Quarkus
Micrometer Prometheus/OpenMetrics metrics, with optional SmallRye Health.
Micronaut
Micrometer Prometheus metrics, with optional management health.
StatLite Metrics v1
A fixed JSON profile for lightweight application integrations, with guides for FastAPI, Express, and Django. The Express article shows how to expose /statlite/metrics, and Configure StatLite generates the matching target configuration.
Self-monitoring
StatLite monitors its own host and SQLite filesystem capacity.
statlite.yml
targets:
- name: "my-app"
type: "spring"
url: "http://localhost:8080/actuator"Intentionally small
StatLite is a good fit for one or a few applications, small VPS deployments, solo developers and small teams, and focused application and host metrics.
Use a broader observability platform when you need:
- Large fleets or Kubernetes-first infrastructure
- Arbitrary metrics and dashboards
- Logs, traces, distributed storage, or complex alerting
Useful for keeping small services observable? A GitHub star helps more developers find StatLite.
