"Monitoring functions" refers to the ability of software to continuously monitor data or events to collect relevant information, analyze it, and generate reports. These functions enable the monitoring of the status, performance, or other important metrics of a system, process, or environment and trigger alarms or notifications when necessary.
Typical functions of software in the area of "monitoring functions" could include:
Real-time monitoring: The software continuously monitors data in real-time to capture current conditions or events.
Data collection and analysis: The software collects data from various sources and analyzes it to identify patterns, trends, or deviations.
Alarms and notifications: The software automatically triggers alarms or notifications when predefined thresholds are exceeded or certain events are detected.
Performance monitoring: The software monitors the performance of systems, applications, or services and identifies bottlenecks, constraints, or performance issues.
Logging and reporting: The software logs monitored data and generates reports or dashboards to provide insights into the performance and state of the monitored system.
Scalability and flexibility: The software offers scalable and flexible monitoring solutions that allow monitoring and customization of different types of systems, infrastructures, or applications.
