Spring Boot : Describe Applicaiton Context Graphically or Text Listing

Spring Boot is great, but eventually we need to start customizing components in the assembly.

Is there a supported way to describe either graphically or a text listing all of the definitions that have been created automatically?

For example, currently I'd like to create a Spring Security authentication based on an HTTP header (api access token), and restrict access to REST endpoints to authenticated users.

If there is not a supported way, then I guess I'll just created an ApplicationContext aware bean and get it to dump the registry.

Also, am I missing something? How does one know how to customize a Spring Boot application assembly without knowing what is currently there?

Take a look at the Actuator endpoints. The beans endpoint will give you a json of all beans.

Also take a look at Spring Tool Suite's Live Beans Graph

Also a very good article here.
