 With default whitelist settings, the probes can be accessed from localhost using the following URLs:
 
-- `http://localhost/-/health`
-- `http://localhost/-/readiness`
-- `http://localhost/-/liveness`

-The first endpoint, `health`, only checks whether the application server is running. It does not verify the database or other services are running. A successful response will return a 200 status code with the following message:
