Monitoring is the active review and analysis of the information that logs contain. Examining aggregated log data for unusual login patterns is monitoring because it looks for indicators of compromise. Enabling audit settings, configuring devices to send logs, and rotating log files all deal with the generation, collection, or storage of logs, which are logging tasks-not monitoring.
