Lab Assignment 1.1-Philosophv of Monitoring This lab will focus on thinking through bow we develop a monitoring strategy. Before you begin moniroring you need to think about whar you need to know nbour a system to address porentinl issues, predict failures, and evaluate trads. Thas lab will look at questions regarding monitoting design and data analysis. By answering these quaestions students will prepare to analyze moniuss created larer in class and answer questions regarding best practioes for monitoring. Objective: The student will answer questions related to discussion points frum the lecture, readings, and data presented in the lab. The stusient may sosculate as part of the reviewing munitaring data is creating a hypothesis about what is happening then comparing data to the bypothesis to see if the data supports it Answer cach question completely following instructions for each.
