dipantau

Dipantau is an Indonesian verb in the passive voice meaning to be monitored or watched. It is formed from the root pantau, meaning to monitor, with the prefix di- indicating a passive construction. The term describes a state where a person, process, system, or data is under observation by an agent such as a supervisor, a monitoring system, or an institution. The aspect can be ongoing or completed depending on context, for example dipantau terus (monitored continuously) or dipantau sejak awal (monitored since the beginning).

Usage and context: Dipantau is commonly found in formal or administrative language, media reporting, and information technology or safety contexts. It can take an agent phrase with oleh, as in oleh tim audit (by the audit team) or oleh sistem otomatis (by an automated system). Related forms include memantau (active form: to monitor), pemantau (monitor or observer), and pantau (the base form used in various constructions). Dipantau contrasts with memantau, where the subject actively performs the monitoring.

Examples: Data keuangan dipantau setiap hari. Proyek tersebut dipantau oleh kementerian terkait. In privacy and security discourse, dipantau indicates oversight to ensure compliance or detect irregularities.

Etymology: The prefix di- marks passive voice in Indonesian, combined with pantau. This pattern is common for forming passive verbs in Indonesian grammar. See also pantau, memantau, pemantau, pemantauan.
