The A1 Policy Management Service Spring Boot application exposes some management endpoints including loggers, metrics, Prometheus, and so on...
All these endpoints are enabled by Spring Boot Actuator dependency. When this dependency is added in pom.xml

total_ric_count

Guage

- Type
total_policy_count
