Cloud Monitoring
Cloud monitoring refers to the practice of observing and tracking the performance, availability, and health of cloud-based resources and services. It involves collecting and analyzing data from various cloud components, such as virtual machines, containers, databases, storage, networks, and applications, to ensure they are functioning optimally and meeting the desired service level agreements (SLAs).

Unleash the Potential of Cloud Monitoring
Cloud monitoring typically involves the use of specialized tools and services that provide real-time visibility into the cloud infrastructure and applications. These tools help monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, logs, and events generated by cloud resources and services.
By monitoring these metrics, organizations can identify performance bottlenecks, detect anomalies, troubleshoot issues, and optimize resource utilization.

Types of Cloud Monitoring
Cloud monitoring works in real-time alongside its on-premises and hybrid counterparts. This helps improve visibility across the entire environment, including storage, networks, and apps. Key capabilities of cloud monitoring tools include tracking the consumption and traffic of cloud-hosted resources.
Also included, and critical to cloud monitoring, are the ability to measure and visualize application and network-layer performance between hybrid cloud, private cloud, and public cloud services. These tools are important for unifying large volumes of data across distributed locations, identifying anomalies and their root causes, and predicting potential risks or production outages.
