Definition

DigitalOcean's built-in infrastructure monitoring service that collects CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network metrics from Droplets automatically. Includes alert policies, uptime monitoring, and integration with third-party tools. Available at no extra cost for all Droplets.

Real-World Example

A DevOps team configures DigitalOcean Monitoring alerts to page them via Slack when any Droplet's CPU usage exceeds 80% for more than 5 minutes. They also set up uptime monitors for their public API endpoints, getting notified within 60 seconds of any outage.
