This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS.[InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

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 server.
* **Monitor other systems with InfluxDB**—use InfluxDB and the wider TICK
  stack (Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor) as your monitoring backend for
  infrastructure and applications.

## Monitor InfluxDB itself

* [Monitoring dashboards](/influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/monitoring-dashboards/)
* [Internal vs. external monitoring](/influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/internal-vs-external/) and [watcher of watchers setup](/influxdb/v1/administration/monitor/external-monitor-setup/)
