 Spring Boot includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and manage your application when you push it to production.
 You can choose to manage and monitor your application by using HTTP endpoints or with JMX.

 Once Spring Security is in play, Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that publishes events (by default, "`authentication success`", "`failure`" and "`access denied`" exceptions).
 This feature can be very useful for reporting and for implementing a lock-out policy based on authentication failures.
