The first item is fixed and only linked to your financial constraints. The other two are constantly evolving and thus must be <b>monitored</b>.
<h2>What if I don't?</h2>
If you don't properly monitor your infrastructure you will face the following consequences sooner or later:
<ul>
<li>service instability: you won't notice when things start going awry</li>
<li>costs overrun: you will end up paying more than you need to in order to deliver the same service</li>
<li>undetected attacks: attacks that impact your services can go unnoticed when the cues (eg: high RAM consumption from a cryptojacking) are not picked up</li>
</ul>
<h2>How do I do it?</h2>
How you monitor your systems can vary based on your technical requirements. It can be as simple as logging in once a week, check the output of some diagnostic command and calling it a day.
This will give you a snapshot but you will miss a lot of important information. You can also set up a complicated system that reports current metrics, trends and gives you capacity planning alerts
based on the data obtained!
You will have to find the middle-ground yourself, this article will propose one that you can tweak whichever way you need.
