I recently wrote a tutorial demonstrating how to leverage the integrations between Spring Boot Actuator and Pivotal Cloud Foundry 1.11, posted here in the Pivotal content library.
 

Here is a quick summary of the articles content:

Adding Actuator to your Spring Boot application deployed on Pivotal Cloud Foundry gets you the following production-ready features:

• Health Check column & expanded information in Instances section
• git commit id indicator, navigable to your git repo
• Summary git info under Settings tab (also navigable to repo)
• Runtime adjustment of logging levels, exposed via Actuator endpoints
• Heap Dump*
• View Trace*
• View Threads, dump/download for further analysis*

* New in Pivotal Cloud Foundry 1.11

TL;DR: Pivotal Cloud Foundry 1.11 provides some really nice integrations with Spring Boot Actuator-enabled applications/microservices, giving you vital tools for monitoring, introspection, and troubleshooting quickly and effectively.
