Description: Host-based monitoring refers to monitoring solutions that operate at the host level, meaning on the actual system where applications and services run. This approach allows for the collection of data on the performance, availability, and security of specific servers or devices. Through agents installed on the host, detailed metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage can be obtained, as well as event logs and alerts about anomalous behaviors. Key features of host-based monitoring include the ability to perform real-time analysis, customize alerts, and integrate with other IT management tools. This type of monitoring is crucial for proactive system management, as it enables administrators to identify and resolve issues before they impact end users. Additionally, it facilitates compliance with security regulations and auditing by providing detailed information about system status. In a business environment where availability and performance are essential, host-based monitoring becomes an indispensable tool for ensuring service continuity and customer satisfaction.
