Spring Boot 2 Actuator Micrometer setup

Question

I have a Spring Boot Application and I have this dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.7.RELEASE</version> // From Parent
</dependency>

I have also configured my application.yml file to expose metrics:

management:
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: info, health, metrics

I have also created a Metrics bean for Kafka:

@Bean
public KafkaConsumerMetrics kafkaConsumerMetrics() {
  return new KafkaConsumerMetrics();
}

But when I hit the endpoint GET http://localhost:8080/actuator/metrics I get a 404 Page Not Found error.

The other endpoints (info/health) works: http://localhost:8080/actuator/info and http://localhost:8080/actuator/health

What am I missing to get micrometer data?

you can try enabling metrics from the configuration, though it should be enabled by default

management:
  endpoint:
    metrics:
      enabled: true
