The practice of continuously observing the health, performance, and availability of computer systems, servers, networks, or applications using tools like Nagios, Datadog, Prometheus, or Zabbix. It is used by systems administrators, DevOps engineers, and site reliability engineers to detect outages, resource bottlenecks, or security issues before they impact users. Effective monitoring typically involves dashboards, automated alerting, and logging of key metrics like CPU usage, memory, uptime, and error rates.
