Spring-Boot-Admin on Cloud Foundry: Showing UP applications as OFFLINE - spring-boot-admin

Question

We are developing a Boot-Admin dashboard using the codecentric provided library of spring-boot-admin-server version 1.4.5
Some of the applications are registering itself with the server via Eureka, and some directly using the spring-boot-admin-starter-client version 1.4.5.
All components are deployed on a PCF environment and are communication over HTTPS. In either ways, the applications though are able to register themselves with the admin sever but are showing up as OFFLINE only. There are no errors reported in the logs for any of the components viz. admin-server, admin-client, eureka-server, eureka-client.
However the only application showing as Up is the admin server itself.
The application properties for spring-boot-admin-client app to run in PCF is:
spring:
application:
name: bootadmin-ms-charlie
boot:
admin:
url: https://bootadmin-dashboard.abc.intl.com
ssl:
trust_store:
path: classpath:ssl/sslcacert.jks
password: a-password
As the result is same for both methods of registration, I've skipped putting the config here for apps registering via Eureka path to keep it simple.
The same is working perfectly fine locally, where the admin dashboard shows all the applications as expected.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done in specific to Cloud Foundry?
Or any obvious mistake that I might have made?
Any suggestions are most welcome.
---EDIT---
Here are the logs from SBA server showing that the communication between server and client is working okay. If these logs give any indication of an error, please point out.

The logs from client are all clean. It throws warning of "Failed to refister" only when the server is down.

Answer 1

Based upon the discussion on https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin/issues/399 it has been found out that below properties are vital for SBA clients to work with Dashboard on Cloud Foundry or container based architecture:
spring:
boot:
admin:
client:
management-url: <complete management-url for the client>
health-url: <complete health endpoint url for the client>
service-url: <complete root/service url for the client>
This is due to the fact that, when a client registers itself with the
SBA server it uses the runC container ID to form its service url. Such url is not valid for the Cloud Foundry router. That results in failure of communication between SBA dashboard and the client later on, causing it to show as OFFLINE.
The other approach can be to go ahead with container IPs, using spring.boot.admin.client.prefer-ip=true. That would list all containers/CF instacnes on SBA but not give a clear picture of overall health of the complete app from a site/AZ. Also direct connection to containers is never encouraged in CF as per the principles of cloud-native app and 12-factors.
