Monitoring data are aggregated to provide an understanding of the operational state of the function

Context and Guidance: Aggregation of monitoring data can be used to determine if the function is operating as expected, including access to shared network resources, bandwidth, and system access controls. The value of this data collection is enhanced by the creation of minimally acceptable and target operational metrics for critical system components, allowing for immediate identification of suboptimal situations and potential degradation of the function. Monitoring data to be aggregated may come from many sources, including those outside of the function in scope for the self-evaluation.
