The difference between Monitoring and Alerting and BI and Analytics Metrics.
A short rant on how the underlying data and insights both provide differ.
Metrics for monitoring and alerting, as well as metrics for business intelligence, help track and understand a variety of operational and strategic indicators. There are parallels to be drawn between the two, but ultimately their uses and goals are pretty distinct. This article will compare and contrast metrics used for business intelligence with those used for monitoring and alerting, providing definitions, explanations, and examples of each type. Identifying the best metrics for your needs can be done with the knowledge of their features and applications.

Typically, these metrics are used for real-time problem detection and error handling, whether by automatic means or human oversight. To help maintain a system's dependability and availability, monitoring and alerting metrics detect issues as soon as they arise so that corrective measures can be implemented without further interruption. CPU use, memory utilization, and network latency are all metrics that can be…
