M04 Q26 What are the actuator endpoints that are provided out of the box?

You can enable or disable Actuator Endpoints with usage of property:

management.endpoint.${ENDPOINT_NAME}.enabled=true

For example:

management.endpoint.shutdown.enabled=true
management.endpoint.beans.enabled=false
management.endpoint.info.enabled=false

You can also disable ‘Enabled by default’ behavior with usage of property:

management.endpoints.enabled-by-default=false

You can change endpoints exposure with usage of properties:

management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.exclude
management.endpoints.jmx.exposure.include
management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude
management.endpoints.web.exposure.include

For example:

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=info, health, env, beans

You can also expose all endpoints with usage of wildcard, for example:

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

You can enable navigation through Actuator Endpoints, by usage of HATEOAS

To enable this navigation, all you have to do is to add dependency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-hateoas</artifactId>
</dependency>

After having this dependency, visiting main Actuator page:

http://localhost:8080/actuator

Will give you _links element in response, that can be used for navigation.
