Spring Boot - Consider defining a bean of type 'io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry' in your configuration

Question

I've spent a few days and could not get it working, new to instrumentation in spring. I have attached picture of my project dependency tree it shows both micrometer-core and spring-boot-starter-actuator.

Error- Consider defining a bean of type 'io.micrometer.core.instrument.MeterRegistry' in your configuration.

Adding my application.yml config

management:
 endpoints:
  web:
   exposure:
    include: info, health, loggers, prometheus
 metrics:
  web:
   server:
    request:
      autotime:
        percentiles: 0.50,0.75,0.95,0.99

Answer 1

My issue was I didn't have the actuator as a dependency for my application

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>

Don't forget to reload your dependencies if you don't have it automatically configured.
