Introduction to Managed Monitoring

Jun 12, 2024 By Ivan Yatskevich In VictoriaMetrics
Monitoring, in the context of software, is a catch-all term for visibility into infrastructure, or an application. It can encompass metrics, logs, traces, and any other telemetry data that provides information on a running application, server, or another device. Monitoring helps you catch problems before your customers do and speeds up the time to resolution for any problems that do slip through. Managed monitoring is where another company runs part or all of your monitoring system.

But what if you could have your cake and eat it, too? Low-cost archival storage AND instant access to your data?
