Main types of monitoring systems and their differences:
-
Infrastructure Monitoring — tracks the status of servers, networks, disks, processors, and memory. Examples: Nagios, Zabbix.
-
Application Performance Monitoring (APM) — focuses on application performance and errors, tracks response times, request tracing. Examples: New Relic, Datadog APM.
-
Log Monitoring — collects and analyzes logs to identify errors and anomalies. Examples: ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Splunk.
-
User Experience Monitoring — measures how end-users interact with the application, including page load times and errors.
Differences mainly lie in the object of monitoring and the level of detail: infrastructure monitoring is low-level, APM is application-level, log monitoring is analytical, UX monitoring is user-oriented.
