Answer 1

As @senseiwu mentioned, Unlike the previous versions, Actuator in spring boot 2 comes with most endpoints disabled. Would we want to enable all of them, we could set

management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=* 

Alternatively, we could list endpoints that should be enabled.

You can easily use hal-browser which is a useful UI, mapped to "/" path by adding following dependencies:

            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-actuator


            org.springframework.data
            spring-data-rest-hal-browser

In the hal-browser you need to type /actuator to see all endpoints. It has been tested in Spring Boot 2.3.0.M2 and works perfectly. You can learn more in the following links:
