SpringBoot Actuator Introduction

What Is The SpringBoot Actuator?

• Spring Boot Actuator gives many features, but two major features are:
• Providing management end points to Spring Boot Application.
• Spring Boot Application Metrics.
• When we run our Spring Boot Web Application using CLI, Spring Boot Actuator automatically provides hostname as localhost and default port number as 8080. We can access this application using http://localhost:8080 endpoint. We actually use HTTP request methods like GET and POST to represent management endpoints using Spring Boot Actuator.
