+== Deadlocked Threads
+
+The deadlocked threads health indicator uses the link:{jdkapi}/java.management/java/lang/management/ThreadMXBean.html[ThreadMXBean] to check for deadlocked threads and is part of the /health and /health/liveness endpoints.
+
+Its only configuration option is to enable or disable the indicator by the `endpoints.health.deadlocked-thread.enabled` key. It is enabled by default.
+
+The health status is set to api:health.HealthStatus#DOWN[DOWN] if any deadlocked threads are found and their link:{jdkapi}/java.management/java/lang/management/ThreadInfo.html[ThreadInfo] including a formatted stacktrace are given in the details. See below for an example.
