# Monitoring & Alerts

The CMS provides monitoring hooks and reporting functions to ensure service continuity and compliance with billing accuracy.

#### Core Monitoring Areas

- **Usage Processing**: Track success/failure of usage collection jobs per region.
- **Billing Runs**: Monitor invoice generation status and ensure records reconcile.
- **Commission Runs**: Verify commission calculation jobs complete without errors.
- **Authentication**: Monitor login failures and token validation errors.
- **System Health**: CPU, memory, and storage usage for container hosts.

#### Alerts

- **Threshold Alerts**: Notify when consumption approaches plan quotas.
- **Job Failures**: Notify when usage, billing, or commission jobs fail.
- **Connectivity Issues**: Alerts for failed API calls to Azure Stack Hub regions.
- **License Expiry**: Warning when TLS or license certificates near expiration.

#### Integrations

- Alerts can be forwarded to external systems such as Splunk, Rapid7, or Azure Monitor.
- APIs expose health endpoints for custom monitoring integrations.
