Spring Boot - Actuator

You added info.app.name=TestApp in application.properties but /actuator/info returns empty JSON. What is the likely cause?

AThe info endpoint is not included in management.endpoints.web.exposure.include

BThe property key should be management.info.app.name

CThe info endpoint is disabled by default and needs enabling

DThe property value must be in YAML format

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check exposure configuration
If info endpoint is not exposed via management.endpoints.web.exposure.include, it won't be accessible.
Step 2: Verify property key correctness
info.app.name is correct; no need for management prefix.
Final Answer:
Info endpoint not included in exposure list -> Option A
Quick Check:
Missing exposure.include=info causes empty response [OK]

Quick Trick: Expose info endpoint explicitly to see custom info [OK]
