What is Availability Monitoring

Availability monitoring can refer to the process of collecting data and reporting on the status of critical application software. Availability monitoring software is often employed for this purpose and continuously monitors applications and servers and their performance, creating an audit trail against which to test Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance. Availability monitoring solutions can typically send email/SMS/RSS alerts if availability falls below a pre-established level for a given time period.
