# About

InformationEndpoint module acts a simple http endpoint. Basic configuration is inherited by common http module properties.

When trace id is desired in information to end user, template is required. By using *${trace\_id}* in template it will expand to the session trace id.

```json
{
    "name": "InformationEndpoint",
    "config": {
        "http_context": "/userinfo",
        "endpoint": [
            {
                "context_path": "/generic",
                "template": "generic_error.template",
                "overlay_dir": "web/overlay_test"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

{% endtabs %}

Example config is accessible on */userinfo/generic.* This will render configured template. Files located in the webroot\_dir is accessed by name.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Sharing http\_context with other modules is mandatory for expanding shared *trace\_id.*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Configuring identical paths as other module will render non deterministic behaviour.&#x20;
