IT Infrastructure Monitoring

Define and implement procedures to monitor the IT infrastructure and related events. Ensure that sufficient chronological information is being stored in operations logs to enable the reconstruction, review and examination of the time sequences of operations and the other activities surrounding or supporting operations.

Value Drivers

  • Proactive detection of infrastructure problems likely to result in an incident
  • Ability to monitor trends and deal with potential infrastructure problems before they occur
  • Ability to optimise the deployment and use of resources
  Risk Drivers
  • Infrastructure problems undetected and incidents occur
  • Infrastructure problems causing greater operational and business impact than if they had been prevented or detected earlier
  • Poorly utilised and deployed infrastructure resources

View Control Practices  help

Hide Control Practices  help

  1. Define and implement a process for event logging that identifies the level of information to be recorded based on a consideration of risk and performance.
  2. Identify and maintain a list of infrastructure assets that need to be monitored based on service criticality, and the relationship between configuration items and services that depend on them.
  3. Define and implement rules that identify and record threshold breaches and event conditions. Find a balance between generating spurious minor events and significant events so event logs are not overloaded with unnecessary information.
  4. Produce event logs and retain them for an appropriate period to assist in future investigations.
  5. Establish procedures for monitoring event logs and conduct regular reviews.
  6. Ensure that incident tickets are created in a timely manner when monitoring activities identify deviations.
