Recording HTTP Exchanges

You can enable recording of HTTP exchanges by providing a bean of type HttpExchangeRepository in your application’s configuration. For convenience, Spring Boot offers InMemoryHttpExchangeRepository, which, by default, stores the last 100 request-response exchanges. InMemoryHttpExchangeRepository is limited compared to tracing solutions, and we recommend using it only for development environments. For production environments, we recommend using a production-ready tracing or observability solution, such as Zipkin or OpenTelemetry. Alternatively, you can create your own HttpExchangeRepository.

You can use the httpexchanges endpoint to obtain information about the request-response exchanges that are stored in the HttpExchangeRepository.
