HTTP Exchanges (`httpexchanges`)

The httpexchanges endpoint provides information about HTTP request-response exchanges.spring-doc.cn

Retrieving the HTTP Exchanges

To retrieve the HTTP exchanges, make a GET request to /actuator/httpexchanges, as shown in the following curl-based example:spring-doc.cn

$ curl 'http://localhost:8080/actuator/httpexchanges' -i -X GET

The resulting response is similar to the following:spring-doc.cn

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v3+json
