monitoring system
Continuous tracking setup
A monitoring system is a set of tools or processes that continuously observes something and reports on its status.
In computing, monitoring systems track server performance, network traffic, or application health: The monitoring system alerted us when the database went down.
Medical monitoring systems watch vital signs.
Security monitoring systems detect intrusions or unusual activity.
The emphasis is on ongoing surveillance and timely notification when conditions change.
