Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 09 - Exploring Spring Boot Actuator

The video tutorial introduces Spring Boot Actuator, a tool for monitoring and managing Spring Boot applications in production. It covers the integration of Actuator into a project, exploring its default endpoints, and configuring additional endpoints through application properties. The tutorial emphasizes best practices for enabling only necessary endpoints to enhance security and performance.

What is one of the primary goals of Spring Boot Actuator?

• To replace the need for a database

• To help build production-ready applications easily

• To enhance application security

• To provide a user interface for applications

Which file needs to be modified to add Spring Boot Actuator to a project?

• settings.gradle

• Maven POM file

• build.gradle

• application.properties

What is the default URL for accessing Spring Boot Actuator endpoints?

• localhost:8080/actuator

• localhost:8080/monitor

• localhost:8080/admin

• localhost:8080/dashboard

How can you enable all actuator endpoints in a Spring Boot application?

• By setting management.endpoints.web.exposure.include to 'all'

• By setting management.endpoints.web.exposure.include to '*'

• By setting management.endpoints.web.exposure.include to 'enable'

• By setting management.endpoints.web.exposure.include to 'true'

Which actuator endpoint provides information about the application's environment?

• /actuator/health

• /actuator/env

• /actuator/info

• /actuator/metrics

What is a recommended practice when enabling actuator endpoints?

• Enable all endpoints by default

• Enable only the endpoints you need

• Disable all endpoints for security

• Enable endpoints based on user roles

Which actuator endpoint can be used to view the number of HTTP requests received?

• /actuator/requests

• /actuator/beans

• /actuator/metrics/http.server.requests

• /actuator/http
