Description: Device monitoring refers to the process of tracking the performance and status of devices on a network. This process is fundamental to ensuring the operability and efficiency of technological systems, especially in environments where multiple devices are interconnected. Through various tools and technologies, real-time data can be collected on device operation, allowing administrators to identify issues, optimize performance, and prevent failures. Key features of device monitoring include the collection of performance metrics, anomaly detection, alert management, and report generation. Additionally, monitoring can be performed in a centralized or distributed manner, depending on the network architecture and the devices involved. The relevance of this practice has grown exponentially with the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), where thousands of devices are connected and require constant supervision to ensure their proper functioning and security. In this context, monitoring not only focuses on performance but also on device security, making it an essential component for managing technological infrastructures of all kinds.
