# Monitor InfluxDB Enterprise v1

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).
