In computational architecture, a monitor refers to a program or system component that tracks and reports on the behavior of other software components or hardware devices. Monitors are often used for debugging and performance analysis, and they can be configured to generate alerts or notifications when certain conditions or events occur. Monitors may also be used for security purposes, such as detecting and preventing unauthorized access or malicious activity. Overall, monitors provide valuable insights into the operation of complex systems and help ensure their smooth and reliable functioning.
