Actuator endpoints disabled by default

[arosini]

While updating my Spring Boot application to the latest build snapshot and I am seeing that none of the actuator endpoints are enabled by default. If I specify them to be enabled in application.properties, they show up.

Searched for an existing issue but couldn't find one...Apologies if this is intended.

The status and info endpoints (/application/status and /application/info respectively) should be enabled by default. All other web endpoints must be enabled, either globally or individually. If that's not the behaviour you are seeing, please provide a sample that reproduces the problem.

Also, if you are on the latest dev snapshot it would be worth reading the release notes before opening an issue. We're also on Gitter if you want to chat.

Ah I updated my snapshot and it seems to be working now. I must have had one that was before 40e6f00.

Thanks, and the new actuator model makes a lot more sense to me.

@wilkinsona
Is there a way to disable the /application endpoint? It seems to be enabled by default as well.

[wilkinsona]

It cannot be enabled or disabled individually. If you would like that to be possible, please open a new issue explaining why you want that level of control and we will consider it.

@wilkinsona
Apologies for the double post with my question.
Just curious, is there a particular reason why that is the case? Or better yet, what is the purpose of that endpoint?

[wilkinsona]

The endpoint's purpose is to provide hypermedia (links) for all the enabled endpoints. From the documentation:

49.3 Hypermedia for actuator web endpoints
A “discovery page” is added with links to all the endpoints. The “discovery page” is available on /application by default.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please come and chat on Gitter. GitHub issues aren't really the right place for this.
