Additionally, it is important to collect various signals from the platform to get a good overview of it; this is called “observability.”
In this chapter, we discuss OpenShift’s built-in mechanisms and functionality for monitoring and observability. We detail each component that generates signals within the mechanisms and instruct you on how to work with them, before we dive deeper into strategies and best practices for monitoring, alerting, and observability in Chapter 7.

In the case of the Cluster Monitoring Operator, this means that all parts of the monitoring platform are present on the cluster, up-to-date, configured as specified, and running.
