Changing endpoint IDs

As you have seen in the table of all Actuator endpoints, each of the Actuator endpoints has an ID that is used to call that endpoint as a REST service. For example /health, /metrics, and /beans endpoints have health, metrics, and beans, respectively, as their IDs. But you can change this endpoint ID and set what you want for your application as follows:

endpoints.endpoint-id.id=new_id 

For example, let's customize the ID of the /health endpoint. Now I want to change it to GET requests sent to /status. In the application.properties file, it looks like this:

health.id = status 

In the application.yml file, it looks like this:

health:
   id: status 

Now you can check the health of your application by using the /status custom endpoint. It will work the same as the /health endpoint.
