Description: Resource monitoring is the practice of tracking the performance and availability of resources in an infrastructure. This activity is essential to ensure that operating systems, applications, and services function optimally. Through monitoring, bottlenecks, failures, and other issues that could affect user experience or operational efficiency can be identified. The resources monitored include servers, databases, networks, and storage, among others. Monitoring tools collect real-time data, allowing system administrators to make informed and proactive decisions. Additionally, resource monitoring facilitates capacity planning by providing information on current usage and future trends. In the context of cloud computing and modern infrastructure, monitoring integrates with automation and configuration management, enabling a rapid response to changes in the infrastructure. This not only improves system resilience but also optimizes resource usage, reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency. In summary, resource monitoring is a critical practice that helps organizations maintain the health of their technology infrastructure and ensure continuous and quality service.
