Standardmonitore

Standardmonitore is a term used in information technology to denote a standardized framework for system and service monitoring. It refers to a coherent set of monitoring practices, data models, and interfaces designed to produce comparable health and performance information across diverse systems.

A Standardmonitore deployment typically includes software agents on hosts or containers, a central collector, a policy engine for rules, and a visualization layer. It supports common data collection protocols such as SNMP, WMI, REST, and Prometheus-style metrics, and exports data to time-series stores. It emphasizes a baseline set of metrics, including uptime, availability, CPU, memory, disk usage, network latency, and error rates, with standardized alert thresholds.

Governance and policy: Standardmonitore defines profiles that specify which metrics to collect, how to compute health, and when to raise alerts. Customization is allowed, but governance ensures consistency across teams and environments.

Deployment and use: It is used in data centers, cloud environments, and microservices architectures to provide centralized visibility, support incident response, and help enforce service-level agreements. By consolidating monitoring data, it can reduce tool sprawl and enable cross-team collaboration.

History and scope: The concept evolved from early IT monitoring practices in the 1990s and 2000s and expanded with cloud computing and DevOps. Today, Standardmonitore variants appear in vendor offerings and open-source projects as a reference model for observability and reliability engineering.
