Which of the following is a correct statement about active monitoring in the context of the monitoring and event management practice?

Active monitoring refers to continuously checking the status of configuration items (CIs) and other

components, regardless of whether an event has occurred. This type of monitoring proactively looks

for potential issues by continuously evaluating the state of systems and services, unlike passive

monitoring, which only reacts when an event is triggered.

Active Monitoring: This involves actively probing or querying systems to check their status, even if no

event has occurred. It helps in detecting issues before they manifest into problems.

Option C ("Active monitoring takes place whether an event has occurred or not") is the correct

answer because active monitoring involves continuous checks, independent of event occurrence​​.

Incorrect Options:

Option A: Active monitoring happens continuously, not just when an event occurs.

Option B: This describes passive monitoring, where CIs report an event once it happens.

Option D: Active monitoring does not require conditions to be met; it happens continuously.
