Does Spring Boot 2 Actuator work in external Tomcat

I've got a Spring Boot 2 app that initially used the embedded Tomcat to run. Having Actuator included in the project, I could do

curl 'http://localhost:8080/actuator/health'

and get a response.

Now I've moved the app into a WAR file to be deployed into an external Tomcat (8.2.23), and the actuator endpoint is no longer found. The app itself still works, but I can't get to the exposed actuator endpoints.

Is this a known bug ('feature'?), or is there a special configuration needed? I'm not currently trying to define any new actuator endpoints. I also don't have security included.

Sigh. My bad. Discovered that in the external deployment, the application name has to precede actuator! – Les
Worth actually posting a proper answer about it... – Makoto
If the application is not deployed in the root Tomcat context but in its own context, it is totally expected as any resource of the application be available from its context. – davidxxx
@Makoto Couldn't post an answer at the time. Too soon after posting the question when I added the comment. So selecting the answer that was submitted. – Les

When deploying in external tomcat, all rest end points of your application will now become http://localhost:8080/{Name of war file}/actual-end-point
