The same process may involve sending those events to some storage or application that analyze or visualize those messages. I.e. in asp.net core applications monitoring of application involves calling a <code>ILogger</code> and sending those logs or critical exceptions to AppInsights. <strong>Monitoring</strong> may also involve activity of development team members to active watch those logged messages for any potential errors or problems that may impact availability of production environment.</p>
