=== Health endpoint anonymous access restrictions
The information exposed by the health endpoint varies depending on whether or not it's
accessed anonymously. When accessed anonymously, any details about the server's health
are hidden and the endpoint will simply indicate whether or not the server is up or
down. Furthermore, when accessed anonymously, the response is cached for a configurable
period to prevent the endpoint being used in a denial of service attack.
The `endpoints.health.time-to-live` property is used to configure the caching period in
milliseconds. It defaults to 1000, i.e. one second.
The above-described restrictions can be disabled, thereby allowing anonymous users full
access to the health endpoint. To do so, set `endpoints.health.restrict-anonymous-access`
to `false`.
