Integration & strategy
Why is collecting machine data without an action process a weak strategy?

Direct answer
Data has a short operational half-life. A stop event may matter immediately to a team lead, later as a downtime trend, and eventually only as historical context. Monitoring creates value when owners review it on a defined cadence and have authority to change the process the data exposes.
Practical checkpoint
For every dashboard or alert, name the person, decision, response time, and follow-up measure it supports.
