[FIXED] /actuator/info Endpoint not working with spring boot 2.5.0

Issue

I upgraded spring boot version in my app from 2.4.4 to 2.5.0 and it stopped exposing /actuator/info endpoint. Here is the pom.xml and application.yml

application.yml

management:
  endpoints:
    jmx:
      exposure:
        include: "health,info"

With spring boot parent version 2.4.4, the application is able to expose info endpoint but not with 2.5.0.

Solution

The correct property for exposing actuator urls over http is management.endpoints.web.​exposure.exclude (web instead of jmx).

In your case, info was exposed earlier not because you had the property you've provided but because it was exposed by default (along with health). But in 2.5.0 it becomes hidden, so now you need to expose it manually.
