The primary objectives of monitoring are listed below:
-
Optimization of utility of each resource under management.

Monitoring the usage of resources and highlighting if any of the managed resource is showing any signs of errors.
-
Ensuring that state of infrastructure is as expected, for example adequate number of nodes are online, enough memory is available, network interfaces are up, network speed is optimal etc.
-
Detect any misconfiguration and security threats and fix them in timely manner.
