An IT System Monitoring Platform is a monitoring platform for IT infrastructure and IT applications.
- Context:
- It can (typically) monitor IT Infrastructure components like servers, network devices, databases, and applications.
- It can (typically) include features for Event Correlation and Root Cause Analysis, helping IT teams quickly identify and resolve issues.
- It can (often) collect and analyze performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O, network latency, and application response times.
- It can (often) integrate with other IT management tools like Configuration Management Databases (CMDB), Ticketing Systems, and Automation Platforms to streamline operations and incident management.
- ...
- It can provide the capability to set Performance Thresholds and trigger alerts or automated actions when predefined conditions are met.
- It can offer dashboards and visualization tools to give a real-time overview of the system's health and performance metrics.
- It can support both on-premises and cloud-based environments, providing flexibility for hybrid infrastructure monitoring.

- Example(s):
- an AWS CloudWatch that monitors AWS cloud resources and applications, providing metrics, logs, and alarms to manage system health.
- a Nagios Core setup that offers monitoring and alerting for server resources and services, widely used in traditional IT environments.
- a Prometheus implementation used for monitoring and alerting in cloud-native environments, particularly in conjunction with Kubernetes.
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- IT Asset Management Platform, which focuses on tracking and managing IT assets rather than monitoring their performance.
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Platform, which is specialized in monitoring security-related events and logs but does not typically handle general IT performance monitoring.
- Backup and Recovery Platform, which ensures data availability and integrity but is not designed for real-time monitoring of system performance.
