1. Health checks: Provides information about the health of your application.

2. Metrics: Provides information about various metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, request counts, etc.

3. Auditing: Provides information about the activity of your application such as who accessed a specific endpoint and when.

4. Tracing: Provides information about the requests and their flow through your application.

5. Management: Provides endpoints to manage your application, such as shutting it down or restarting it.

By including the spring-boot-starter-actuator dependency in your project, you can easily enable and configure these Actuator features in your application.
