What is the actuator endpoint to which the togglz library exposes the edit options

Question

I have recently being exploring the togglz library for feature management in Spring Boot application. In the documentation here , its mentioned that I can use the actuator endpoint

http://localhost:8080/actuator/togglz/GREETING

to edit my features. But what is 'GREETING' here? I tried with my feature name, but it didn't worked. It's also not mentioned in the documentation either. Please help me out if someone has used this.

I am using the below dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.togglz</groupId>
  <artifactId>togglz-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>2.6.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

PS: I know about the console, but I don't want to use the console, I have to use the endpoint only to toggle the feature.

The actuator endpoint only allows you to change the state (i.e. true or false) of an existing feature by that same name. See the code's comment and implementation: https://github.com/togglz/togglz/blob/2.8.0/spring-boot/starter/src/main/java/org/togglz/spring/boot/actuate/TogglzEndpoint.java#L63
