 Define standards, procedures, and monitoring capabilities for your on-premises network environment that can provide you with real-time metrics important for your specific business needs. Aggregate these metrics, visualize them in a dashboard, and set automated alerts that can notify the operations team. In addition, develop a runbook that provides procedures for different alerts and alarms.

| --- | 
|   | 

 To better understand the health of your hybrid network, focus on comprehensive monitoring and observability across your hybrid network infrastructure. You should consider establishing end-to-end visibility by deploying monitoring solutions that span both on-premises environments and cloud resources, allowing teams to track key performance metrics, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues across the entire network path. This includes monitoring network connectivity, throughput, latency and resource utilization of hybrid network components. Effective implementation requires centralizing monitoring data from various sources into unified dashboards and alerting systems.

|   | 

 Managing operational events in a hybrid network environment requires comprehensive monitoring and response systems. By implementing real-time monitoring of both planned and unplanned events, you gain real-time visibility into critical performance metrics and health status across your hybrid network infrastructure. This monitoring enables timely detection and response to potential issues.
