What is a monitoring agent?

Definition

An artificial intelligence monitoring agent watches sources such as analytics dashboards, news pages, pricing pages, search results, logs, or uptime indicators. Model reasoning can classify what changed and decide whether the change meets a defined notification rule.

Monitoring needs baselines, stable identities, deduplication, and explicit thresholds so routine variation does not create noise. The agent should retain evidence and avoid treating a failed read as proof that the monitored subject disappeared.
