What is Actuator?
- We can monitor our app, gather metrics, understand traffic, or the state of our database with the help of Actuator,
- With Actuator we can get production-grade tools without having to actually implement these features ourselves.
- It is mainly used to expose operational information about the running application – health, metrics, info, dump, env, etc.
- Actuator uses HTTP endpoints or JMX beans to enable us to interact with it.
