title: Spring Boot Admin Client not registering an application
body: <p>I have setup a SpringBootAdmin server, and trying to register an application with SpringBootAdmin client. It does not seem to be registering. 
  Do I neccesarily have to register with Eureka? 
  How do I debug?</p>
  
  <p>Configuration on adminserver
  build.gradle</p>
  
  <pre><code>dependencies {
      compile('de.codecentric:spring-boot-admin-server-ui')
      compile('de.codecentric:spring-boot-admin-server-ui-login')
      compile('de.codecentric:spring-boot-admin-server')
      compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web-services')
      testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>application.properties</p>
  
  <pre><code>spring.application.name=Boot-Admin
  server.port=8093
  security.user.name=admin
  security.user.password=admin    
  logging.level.de.codecentric.boot.admin.client=DEBUG
  logging.level.de.codecentric.boot.admin=DEBUG
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>App is </p>
  
  <pre><code>@SpringBootApplication
  @Configuration
  @EnableAdminServer
  public class AdminApp {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          SpringApplication.run(AdminApp.class, args);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the client side, 
  build.gradle</p>
  
  <pre><code>dependencies {
  compile('de.codecentric:spring-boot-admin-starter-client')
  compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator')
  compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web-services')
  testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>application.properties</p>
  
  <pre><code>server.port=8091
  spring.boot.admin.client.enabled=true
  spring.boot.admin.url=http://localhost:8093
  spring.boot.admin.client.auto-registration=true
  spring.boot.admin.username=admin
  spring.boot.admin.password=admin
  logging.level.de.codecentric.boot.admin.client=DEBUG
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code is </p>
  
  <pre><code>@Configuration
  @SpringBootApplication
  public class SBACApp {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          SpringApplication.run(SBACApp.class, args);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>According to all the Stackoverflow articles and tutorials, this should be adequate. 
  Even though logging is set on the client side, there seems to be no log-line starting with d.c....</p>
  
  <p>What could I be missing
  Any additional knowledge on how to debug this may help. </p>
