== Enabling Production-ready Features
|
|
The {spring-boot-code}/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-actuator[`spring-boot-actuator`] module provides all of Spring Boot's production-ready features.
|
|
The recommended way to enable the features is to add a dependency on the `spring-boot-starter-actuator` "`Starter`".
|
|
|
|
.Definition of Actuator
|
|
****
|
|
An actuator is a manufacturing term that refers to a mechanical device for moving or controlling something.
|
|
Actuators can generate a large amount of motion from a small change.

|
|
|
To add the actuator to a Maven-based project, add the following "`Starter`" dependency:
|
|
|
|
[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim"]
