Comment

Actuator is a sub-project of Spring Boot.

It brings in production-ready features into an application and is mainly used to expose operational information about the running application's health, metrics, info, dump, env, etc. It uses HTTP endpoints or JMX beans to interact with it.

@Service
public class LoginServiceImpl {

    private final CounterService counterService;
    
    public LoginServiceImpl(CounterService counterService) {
        this.counterService = counterService;
    }
	
    public boolean login(String userName, char[] password) {
        boolean success;
        if (userName.equals("admin") && "secret".toCharArray().equals(password)) {
            counterService.increment("counter.login.success");
            success = true;
        }
        else {
            counterService.increment("counter.login.failure");
            success = false;
        }
        return success;
    }
}
