Imagine you are flying a modern jet. You have hundreds of gauges, sensors, and alerts, all telling you how the engines, fuel, hydraulics, and navigation are doing. Without that dashboard, you would be flying blind. IT infrastructure is the same — we need constant, smart monitoring to keep everything running smoothly, spot trouble early, and even predict failures before they happen. This chapter shows you how we build that dashboard and turn raw data into real understanding of what’s happening.
