ITIL® 4 Practitioner: Monitoring and Event Management

The ITIL® 4 Practitioner: Monitoring and Event Management course focuses on observing IT services and service components to detect events, understand service health and respond to changes in operational status.

The purpose of the Monitoring and Event Management practice is to systematically observe services and service components and to record, report and respond to selected changes of state identified as events.

Monitoring provides visibility into the health and performance of services, while event management enables organisations to respond effectively when service conditions change. Together, these activities help organisations identify incidents early, maintain service availability and improve operational decision-making.

This course provides practical guidance on the Monitoring and Event Management practice, including the processes, roles and supporting technologies involved. Participants also learn how to measure and improve the practice capability using the ITIL maturity model.

The training focuses on proactive service monitoring, event analysis and improved visibility across service value streams, helping organisations reduce service disruptions and improve reliability.
