Monitoring

Kind: mechanism

Layer: Observability

Record: architecture:monitoring

Severity: mandatory

Scope: service, infrastructure

Canonical: Ontology

A mechanism that collects metrics about resources and service levels over time and compares them with thresholds.

Listed in Architecture principles, after Logging and before Alerting.
