Proof of concept for JDK Flight Recorder view in Spring Boot Admin

[mnk]

I created a small proof-of-concept for a JDK Flight Recorder view in SBA - via https://github.com/mirkosertic/flight-recorder-starter.

Would you be interested in integrating such a contribution and making it a standard feature of SBA - similar to the JMX support?

@mnk very nice :)
@mirkosertic Do you have any chance to get this (i.e.: the backend part) merged as part of the standard Spring Boot actuator by chance?

Having to maintain custom endpoints it's not ideal, given that it may drift away from the standards of Spring Boot over time (e.g.: in Spring Boot 4 everything is modularized now).

Hey! This is really impressive! I really love Spring Boot Admin, and this integration is a missing part of service management and monitoring. As far as I know there is currently no default actuator endpoint for JFR available in Spring Boot, and that is the main reason I wrote https://github.com/mirkosertic/flight-recorder-starter. Maybe the view extension in this PR could be packaged in the flight-recorder-starter and deployed as part of the SBA server, but this is up to the SBA maintainers. Anyway I am really happy that the flight recorder starter got some attention :-)

As @cdprete wrote it would be good, if the actuator itself would be part of the official Spring Boot Actuator package. Maybe you can try to contribute it there @mirkosertic .

That would make it a lot "easier" for The Spring Boot Admin Team to integrate the frontend part into SBA. At the moment we would add something for a small, private project where we cannot foresee how good it will be maintained in the next years.
If Mirko gets a new hobby, the backend may not be maintained anymore and we get support requests for the frontend.

However we are discussing this and even if it will not be part of the official actuator, we might still support it. Not decided yet.
