+The metric endpoints can be consumed by an external interface tool, such as [https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin Spring Boot Admin by codecentric].\\
+To set this up, you can download our sample setup of Spring Boot Admin here.
 
+Extract the archive and open a command shell in the extracted folder. Run:\\
+`./gradlew bootRun` (or `.\gradlew bootRun` on Windows CMD)\\
+Upon successful startup the Gradle task will show "80%" completion, as it assumes the run to be complete once the application exits again.
 
+Then, close Cloud Native Renew, if it is currently running and navigate to the Cloud Native Renew directory.\\
+Open the file `application.properties` and uncomment (remove the `#`) the line `spring.boot.admin.client.url=http://localhost:8099`.\\
+Then start Cloud Native Renew as described in the [#start startup instructions] section while Spring Boot Admin is running in adifferent terminal.
+
+Now open a browser and navigate to `localhost:8099` and explore the application in your browser.
