Conclusion
Monitoring isn't just about keeping the servers up and running. It's about keeping the business going. By understanding both the technical components and the business behavior, you stand a fair chance of reducing the time it takes to detect and repair problems. Accept that failure will happen, and be ready for it. In case the system does fail, be sure to radiate this information as feedback to everyone willing to listen, and improve things to avoid new failures. May the force of monitoring be with you.
