Infrastructure Monitoring is the process of tracking the health, performance, and availability of IT systems such as servers, networks, databases, and cloud resources. It collects information about system activity and checks for issues such as slow performance, high resource usage, or service failures. When unusual activity or a problem is detected, the system can notify technical teams so they can respond quickly.
For example, an online store can use infrastructure monitoring to watch its servers during a busy sales event. If server usage becomes too high, the team can take action before customers experience slow pages or service interruptions. It is useful for maintaining system reliability, preventing downtime, identifying problems early, and improving performance. This helps organizations provide stable and dependable digital services.
