Monitoring is the act of observing changes in data over time. “Monitoring”
covers two different things:

* **Monitor InfluxDB itself**—track the health and performance of your
  InfluxDB Enterprise cluster.
* **Monitor other systems with InfluxDB**—use InfluxDB and the wider TICK
  stack (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor) as your monitoring backend for
  infrastructure and applications.

### Monitor with InfluxDB Insights

> [!Note]
> For InfluxDB Enterprise customers, Insights is a free service that monitors your cluster and sends metrics to a private Cloud account. This allows InfluxDB Support to monitor your cluster health and access usage statistics when assisting with support tickets that you raise.
>
> To apply for this service, please [contact InfluxData support](https://support.influxdata.com).
