Part IV. Monitoring the System

You may be running any number of different systems. The following four chapters introduce a framework for identifying effective monitoring strategies, evaluating current monitoring tools and frameworks, and managing your monitoring data and your work through monitoring your career.

Complex systems monitoring adds application insights and deeper observability into the components of your system. In the past, system administration focused more on system metrics. And as you scale to larger and more complex environments, system metrics are less helpful and, in some cases, unavailable. In addition, individual systems are less critical as you focus on the quality of the application and the impact on your users.
