</project>

when I run admin server, metric of "process.files.open" will continuous growing till run out of file descriptors.

when I update "spring-boot-starter-parent" version from 2.3.1.RELEASE to 2.3.0.RELEASE, it will run well.

Spring Boot Admin is not managed by the Spring team. You can reach out to the maintainers here: https://github.com/codecentric/spring-boot-admin/issues

Thanks!
