====== Monitoring ======

  The Monitoring tab defines health supervision parameters applied to collectors themselves —
  not to the SAP systems they monitor, but to the collector service and its host machine.

  Settings are organised into two sections, each accessible as a sub-tab.

===== Collector status =====

  * Defines the thresholds and alert conditions used to detect collector connectivity issues.
  * These settings control when the Cockpit raises an alarm about a collector being unreachable, slow to respond, or in a degraded state.
  * Typical parameters include response time thresholds, disconnection duration limits, and their associated alarm severities.

===== Memory and disk =====

  * Defines the resource usage thresholds that trigger alarms on the collector host.
  * These settings allow early detection of resource exhaustion before it impacts monitoring quality.
  * Typical parameters include (and their associated alarm severities)
    * Heap memory usage threshold (%)
    * RAM usage threshold (%)
    * Disk usage threshold (%)

===== Notes =====

  * Changes to monitoring settings are propagated to the collector within 30 seconds.
  * These thresholds complement the [[..:agents:statistics|Statistics]] tab, which displays current resource usage in real time.
  * Alarm severities follow the same scale used across the rest of the Cockpit (e.g. Critical, Major, Minor, Warning).
