👉 Monitoring in computing refers to the process of observing, collecting, and analyzing data about the performance, health, and security of computer systems, networks, and applications. This involves tracking various metrics such as CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O operations, network traffic, and application performance indicators to ensure optimal functionality and identify potential issues before they escalate. Monitoring tools gather this data in real-time or at scheduled intervals, providing insights that help administrators and system managers make informed decisions to maintain system stability, improve efficiency, and prevent downtime. By continuously observing system behavior, monitoring enables proactive management, troubleshooting, and optimization of computing resources.
