将 header 传递给自定义执行器健康端点

Question

I have created a custom spring-boot actuator health endpoint for my application. Spring boot aggregates all these custom health endpoints into a one big json and returns it when I hit application/health url. Now I want to pass some information to the custom health end point that I have implemented in form of a header when I hit the application/health url. How can I achieve this?

If you at all want to pass a header, you might consider hitting the API (a GET API in this case) from any RestClient like PostMan or Insomnia. Simply hitting the url from the browser is actually making a GET request but you can only add path or request parameters in the url, for adding a request body or headers,you will need to use a REST client, or alternatively do it from the command line using curl. Also, after reading the comments,i think what you need is,is to set spring.profile property and determine your code flow based on that- here's how you can set the profile- 1) set Java System Properties (VM Arguments)

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=test myapp.jar

2) set Program arguments

java -jar application.jar --spring.profiles.active=test
