What is Infrastructure Monitoring?
Turkish: Altyapı İzleme
Infrastructure monitoring collects metrics from servers, networks, databases, and cloud resources to catch failure signals early.
What Is Infrastructure Monitoring?
Infrastructure monitoring makes system health visible by collecting metrics from servers, containers, databases, network devices, and cloud services. CPU, memory, disk, network latency, error rate, queue depth, and connection count are common signals.
The goal is not just to produce dashboards. A monitoring system should detect deviations from normal behavior early and send meaningful alerts to the right people. For example, warning when disk usage reaches 95 percent can prevent application write failures before users notice them.
Metrics, Logs, and Traces
Metrics answer “what is happening?” quickly. Logs show event details. Trace data explains how a request moved across services. Used together, these layers help teams investigate not only the symptom of an outage, but also the cause.
Business Use
Infrastructure monitoring directly affects operational quality for e-commerce peak hours, ERP integrations, payment flows, and customer portals. Kibana helps with log exploration, Sentry with application errors, and log analysis with post-incident root cause investigation.
