What is a Monitor?

A Monitor can be defined as any IT infrastructure component that is discovered and provisioned within Motadata AIOps for the purpose of comprehensive monitoring. It plays a crucial role in enabling real-time monitoring and generating insightful performance metrics.

In the Motadata AIOps context, a monitor represents an entity that is provisioned by users after executing a discovery. By monitoring the performance metrics at the monitor level, Motadata AIOps gathers and analyzes data for the IT infrastructure. This data polling process forms the foundation for various features such as Topology, Metric Explorer, Alerts and Policies, which leverage the monitor-level metrics to provide valuable insights.

Setting up a monitor in Motadata AIOps involves the following steps:

  1. User creates a credential profile and a discovery profile, and then maps the discovery profile to the credential profile.

  2. User initiates a discovery run, either instantly or a scheduled run to identify devices within the network.

  1. Once the discovery is complete, the user proceeds to provision the discovered devices within Motadata AIOps for monitoring purposes.

  2. These provisioned devices are now referred to as Monitors.

By following this workflow, Motadata AIOps empowers users to effectively monitor the health and performance of their IT infrastructure. The insights gained through the monitoring process enable informed decision-making and proactive management of the infrastructure.

With monitors in place, users can leverage the robust capabilities of Motadata AIOps to optimize the performance, identify potential issues, and ensure the smooth operation of their IT environment.
