Hi @ahoehma,

we have found the exact same issue in Tomcat’s Bugzilla: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67235 It seems that they have introduced a bug in their newest versions, when using Server Send Events, which Spring Boot Admin utilizes. If you do not face any issues in regards to usability / stability of your SBA installation, we will keep track of the issue at tomcat and merge a fix asap.
