Description

Monitoring allows organizations to observe the status of their systems in real-time. Early detection of issues and analysis of performance data are crucial for optimizing processes and systems. Effective monitoring supports improvements in efficiency and reliability.

✔

  • Increased system availability.
  • Improved response times to issues.
  • Better decision-making through data.

✖

  • High costs for implementation and maintenance.
  • Requires specialized knowledge.
  • Can lead to information overload.

  • Response Time

    The time taken to respond to requests.

  • System Availability

    The percentage of time the system is available.

  • Error Rate

    The proportion of requests that are erroneous.
