Monitoring Tools - INI
Monitoring tools are systems that monitor the operational status, performance, and availability of IT infrastructure such as servers, networks, applications, and databases in real-time, and send alerts when issues occur. Various tools exist, from open-source solutions like Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, and Nagios to enterprise platforms like Datadog, New Relic, and Dynatrace, and are widely used in both cloud-native and traditional on-premises environments.
