Description
- At the moment, we have the Live Information hovers showing up in source code with data from the running application - with data coming from Spring Boot Actuators
- At the moment, this is limited to specific structural data (beans, request mappings, and a few more). Would be great to enhance that to a more broad scope of actuator data that is available (memory, threads, http requests, etc.)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Live Information hovers in the VSCode Spring tooling and how they consume Spring Boot Actuator data. Determine which additional actuator data, such as memory, threads, and HTTP requests, should be visualized and how completion will be verified across the supported hover views.
