To expose any other endpoints besides /info and /health, we need to explicitly expose them by setting the management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* property. When the value is set to *, it will expose all of the endpoints. The following endpoints are available to aid us in getting an insight into the application runtime state and configuration:

  • /env: This endpoint enables ...
