Spring Actuator endpoints giving 404 error, except for health and info

Question

To better understand Spring Actuator, I have created a sample Spring Initializr project, with only the following two dependencies:

1. Spring Boot Actuator
2. Spring Web

In my application.properties file I enabled all the endpoints that are disabled by default for web applications (as per https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-features.html#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints).

It was my expectation that I would be able to access all the actuator endpoints. However, I am getting 404s for all endpoints except http://localhost:8080/actuator/health and http://localhost:8080/actuator/info.

My application.properties file is as follows:

# Source: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-features.html#production-ready-endpoints-exposing-endpoints

It looks like you need to specify endpoints to expose after enabling them.

From the docs 2.2:

* can be used to select all endpoints. For example, to expose everything over HTTP except the env and beans endpoints, use the following properties:

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude=env,beans
