# Designing a monitoring system

Move from needs to sources, filters and an operational plan.

≈ 2 h 45 min · Beginner to intermediate

The question it answers

What do we monitor, where, under what rules and for whom?

**What you will take away** 

An operational monitoring plan with coverage, filters and responsibilities.

[Start with 2.1](https://academy.innguma.com/en/designing-a-monitoring-system/from-context-to-critical-watch-factors/)

## Five lessons
