Monitor database changes

Monitor answers what is happening right now. Review deployment activity to see operations as they arrive, review policy check results to see what enforcement found, and review drift detection results to see where actual database state has moved away from what you expect.

Monitoring works on individual operations and current state. Aggregates over time live in Measure, and anything that needs action moves to Improve.
