I am trying to write my own endpoints to return SpringBoot Actuator liveness and readiness status over /ready, /live and /health without exposing any default endpoint from Actuator dependency.

When setting management.endpoints.web.exposure.exclude=*, my code refering to HealthEndpoint class prevents the app from starting.

Is there a way to use HealthEndpoint class without actually exposing anything?
Or is there a way to retrieve liveness and readiness health status without HealthEndpoint?

I’ve tried to inject HealthIndicator livenessState and readinessState to no avail, I’ve had an error saying that 4 dependencies were injected instead of 1.
I’ve tried playing with exclude and include settings to no avail.
