Monitoring and Logging

Definition:​
Monitoring involves observing the system’s health, performance, and uptime.​
Logging is about collecting and analyzing system and application-generated data (logs).

Why it’s important:

●​ Helps quickly detect system crashes.​

●​ Keeps track of server health continuously.​

●​ Essential for troubleshooting and security auditing.​

Practical Example:

●​ Suppose your web app suddenly becomes unavailable.​

●​ A monitoring tool like Prometheus alerts you that "CPU usage is high" or "Memory is
exhausted."​

●​ Checking logs through Elasticsearch, you find the exact error that caused the crash.​

Popular Tools:

●​ Prometheus (Monitoring)​

●​ Grafana (Dashboard visualization)​

●​ ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana — for centralized logging)​

●​
