58. HTTP Tracing

Tracing is automatically enabled for all HTTP requests. You can view the httptrace endpoint and obtain basic information about the last 100 request-response exchanges.

58.1 Custom HTTP tracing

To customize the items that are included in each trace, use the management.trace.http.include configuration property. For advanced customization, consider registering your own HttpExchangeTracer implementation.

By default, an InMemoryHttpTraceRepository that stores traces for the last 100 request-response exchanges is used. If you need to expand the capacity, you can define your own instance of the InMemoryHttpTraceRepository bean. You can also create your own alternative HttpTraceRepository implementation.
