# Enabling Actuator
|
|
|
|
The `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.
|
|
|
|
## Adding the Actuator Dependency
|
|
|
|
To add the actuator to a Maven-based project, add the following starter dependency:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<dependencies>
|
|
<dependency>
|
|
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
|
|
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
|
|
</dependency>
|
|
</dependencies>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Gradle, use the following declaration:
|
|
|
|
```gradle
|
|
dependencies {
|
|
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
|
|
}
|
|
``` |
