Monitoring is the continuous checking of servers, websites and services so that problems are noticed before customers notice them. It watches availability, response time, disk space, load and error logs, and raises an alert when something moves outside normal limits. Without monitoring, the first sign of trouble is often a complaint or a lost sale. At Internet Solutions, monitoring is part of how we run the servers and websites we look after. Our server administration covers Linux and Windows systems for data and business e-mail, and websites we build are hosted on our own servers with regular backups. IT maintenance contracts add failure prevention, hardware audits and remote support for office computers and networks. Good monitoring combined with backups turns a potential outage into a short, controlled repair.
