Monitoring is the act of observing changes in data over time.
There are multiple ways to monitor your InfluxDB Enterprise cluster.
See the guides below to monitor a cluster using another InfluxDB instance.

Alternatively, to view your output data occasionally (for example, for auditing or diagnostics),
do one of the following:

* [Log and trace InfluxDB Enterprise operations](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/logs/)
* [Use InfluxQL for diagnostics](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/diagnostics/)

### Monitor with InfluxDB Insights

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).

### [Monitor InfluxDB Enterprise v1 with InfluxDB OSS](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/monitor-with-oss/)

Monitor your InfluxDB Enterprise v1 instance using InfluxDB OSS and a pre-built InfluxDB template.

### [Log and trace InfluxDB Enterprise v1 operations](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/logs/)

Learn about logging locations, redirecting HTTP request logging, structured logging, and tracing.

### [Use InfluxQL for diagnostics](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/diagnostics/)
