Cause Based [[Monitoring]] points us to a cause of an existing issue, but don't imply that issue exists in the first place. Some examples of Cause Metrics are:
- CPU utilization
- Free disk space
When users are seeing slow response times, I want to be able to easily tell that it's because our DB server is running close to 100% CPU utilization – this should be the primary use of Cause Based Monitoring.
On the other hand, Cause Metrics are only in rare cases useful in [[Alerting]]. See [[What should i be Alerting on]].
