Monitoring / Statistics

Actuator endpoints used to monitor and diagnose the internal configuration of the CAS server are typically exposed over the endpoint /actuator.

Actuator Endpoints

The following endpoints are provided:

The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:

_{The configuration settings listed below are tagged as Required in the CAS configuration metadata. This flag indicates that the presence of the setting may be needed to activate or affect the behavior of the CAS feature and generally should be reviewed, possibly owned and adjusted. If the setting is assigned a default value, you do not need to strictly put the setting in your copy of the configuration, but should review it nonetheless to make sure it matches your deployment expectations.}


`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.encoding-algorithm=` The encoding algorithm to use such as `MD5`. Relevant when the type used is `DEFAULT` or `GLIBC_CRYPT`. When used with `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, it should be one of `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1`, `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256` or `PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512`. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.type=NONE` Define the password encoder type to use. Type may be specified as blank or `NONE` to disable password encoding. It may also refer to a fully-qualified class name that implements the Spring Security's `PasswordEncoder` interface if you wish you define your own encoder. The following types may be used: `NONE`: No password encoding (i.e. plain-text) takes place. `DEFAULT`: Use the `DefaultPasswordEncoder` of CAS. For message-digest algorithms via `character-encoding` and `encoding-algorithm`. `BCRYPT`: Use the `BCryptPasswordEncoder` based on the strength provided and an optional secret. `SCRYPT`: Use the `SCryptPasswordEncoder`. `PBKDF2`: Use the `Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder` based on the strength provided and an optional secret. `STANDARD`: Use the `StandardPasswordEncoder` based on the secret provided. `SSHA`: Use the `LdapShaPasswordEncoder` supports Ldap SHA and SSHA (salted-SHA). The values are base-64 encoded and have the label {SHA</code> or {SSHA</code> prepended to the encoded hash. `GLIBC_CRYPT`: Use the `GlibcCryptPasswordEncoder` based on the `encoding-algorithm`, strength provided and an optional secret. `org.example.MyEncoder`: An implementation of `PasswordEncoder` of your own choosing. `file:///path/to/script.groovy`: Path to a Groovy script charged with handling password encoding operations. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.driver-class=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver` The JDBC driver used to connect to the database. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password=` The database connection password. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:mem:cas-hsql-database` The database connection URL. This setting supports the Spring Expression Language. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.user=sa` The database user. The database user must have sufficient permissions to be able to handle schema changes and updates, when needed. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`

_{The configuration settings listed below are tagged as Optional in the CAS configuration metadata. This
flag indicates that the presence of the setting
is not immediately necessary in the end-user CAS configuration, because a default value is assigned or
the activation of the feature is not conditionally controlled by the setting value. In other words, you should only include this field in your
configuration if you need to modify the default value or if you need to turn on the feature controlled by the setting.}


`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.character-encoding=UTF-8` The encoding algorithm to use such as 'UTF-8'. Relevant when the type used is `DEFAULT`. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.hash-length=16` When used by `PasswordEncoderTypes#ARGON2`, it indicates the hash strength/length. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.iterations=310000` When used by `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, it indicates the required number of iterations. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.secret=` Secret to use with `PasswordEncoderTypes#STANDARD`, `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, `PasswordEncoderTypes#BCRYPT`, `PasswordEncoderTypes#GLIBC_CRYPT` password encoders. Secret usually is an optional setting. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.password-encoder.strength=16` Strength or number of iterations to use for password hashing. Usually relevant when dealing with `PasswordEncoderTypes#BCRYPT`, `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2` or `PasswordEncoderTypes#GLIBC_CRYPT`. When used by `PasswordEncoderTypes#ARGON2` or `PasswordEncoderTypes#PBKDF2`, it indicates the salt strength. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.authentication.PasswordEncoderProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.autocommit=false` The default auto-commit behavior of connections in the pool. Determined whether queries such as update/insert should be immediately executed without waiting for an underlying transaction. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.batch-size=100` A non-zero value enables use of JDBC2 batch updates by Hibernate. e.g. recommended values between 5 and 30. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.data-source-name=` Attempts to do a JNDI data source look up for the data source name specified. Will attempt to locate the data source object as is. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.ddl-auto=update` Hibernate feature to automatically validate and exports DDL to the schema. By default, creates and drops the schema automatically when a session is starts and ends. Setting the value to `validate` or `none` may be more desirable for production, but any of the following options can be used: `validate`: Validate the schema, but make no changes to the database. `update`: Update the schema. `create`: Create the schema, destroying previous data. `create-drop`: Drop the schema at the end of the session. `none`: Do nothing. Note that during a version migration where any schema has changed `create-drop` will result in the loss of all data as soon as CAS is started. For transient data like tickets this is probably not an issue, but in cases like the audit table important data could be lost. Using `update`, while safe for data, is confirmed to result in invalid database state. `validate` or `none` settings are likely the only safe options for production use. For more info, see this. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.default-catalog=` Qualifies unqualified table names with the given catalog in generated SQL. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.default-schema=` Qualify unqualified table names with the given schema/tablespace in generated SQL. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect` The database dialect is a configuration setting for platform independent software (JPA, Hibernate, etc) which allows such software to translate its generic SQL statements into vendor specific DDL, DML. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.fail-fast-timeout=1` Set the pool initialization failure timeout. Any value greater than zero will be treated as a timeout for pool initialization. The calling thread will be blocked from continuing until a successful connection to the database, or until the timeout is reached. If the timeout is reached, then a `PoolInitializationException` will be thrown. A value of zero will not prevent the pool from starting in the case that a connection cannot be obtained. However, upon start the pool will attempt to obtain a connection and validate that the `connectionTestQuery` and `connectionInitSql` are valid. If those validations fail, an exception will be thrown. If a connection cannot be obtained, the validation is skipped and the the pool will start and continue to try to obtain connections in the background. This can mean that callers to `DataSource#getConnection()` may encounter exceptions. A value less than zero will not bypass any connection attempt and validation during startup, and therefore the pool will start immediately. The pool will continue to try to obtain connections in the background. This can mean that callers to `DataSource#getConnection()` may encounter exceptions. Note that if this timeout value is greater than or equal to zero (0), and therefore an initial connection validation is performed, this timeout does not override the `connectionTimeout` or `validationTimeout`; they will be honored before this timeout is applied. The default value is one millisecond. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`

`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.isolate-internal-queries=false` This property determines whether data source isolates internal pool queries, such as the connection alive test, in their own transaction. Since these are typically read-only queries, it is rarely necessary to encapsulate them in their own transaction. This property only applies if `#autocommit` is disabled. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`

`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.read-only=false` Configures the Connections to be added to the pool as read-only Connections. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.role-prefix=` Prefix to add to the role. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.core.monitor.JdbcSecurityActuatorEndpointsMonitorProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.keep-alive-time=0` This property controls the keepalive interval for a connection in the pool. An in-use connection will never be tested by the keepalive thread, only when it is idle will it be tested. Default is zero, which disables this feature.

`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.max-wait=PT2S` Sets the maximum time in seconds that this data source will wait while attempting to connect to a database. A value of zero specifies that the timeout is the default system timeout if there is one; otherwise, it specifies that there is no timeout. This settings supports the `java.time.Duration` syntax ^[?]. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.support.ConnectionPoolingProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.maximum-lifetime=PT10M` This property controls the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool. When a connection reaches this timeout, even if recently used, it will be retired from the pool. An in-use connection will never be retired, only when it is idle will it be removed. This settings supports the `java.time.Duration` syntax ^[?]. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.support.ConnectionPoolingProperties.`
`cas.monitor.endpoints.jdbc.pool.min-size=6` Controls the minimum size that the pool is allowed to reach, including both idle and in-use connections. `org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.support.ConnectionPoolingProperties.`
