A check she plans to do is not a watch the source already records.

Logical drawing

    daily reconciliation of points issued against purchases

    monitoring of role changes and pauses
added in the decision
    a monthly comparison and a look at privileged events

Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

1. Say what the monitoring row covers.
2. Keep it apart from the daily reconciliation and from the monthly check.
3. Refuse to mark monitoring on.

10.1 Three different looks at the scheme.

Monitoring, in this checklist, means a watch that notices when a privileged role changes or when the scheme is paused. The source marks that row unmet, and the print lists the gap as monitoring of role changes and pauses. Two other habits are easy to confuse with it. The daily reconciliation of points issued against purchases is already marked met. That pass only tallies awards against till receipts, so it cannot stand in for a pause alarm. Elena also adds a monthly check: compare points issued with purchases and review any privileged events. That sentence is her plan for the pilot, written in chapter 4. A plan to look once a month is not a monitor the source already scores as present. If a note says the monitoring row now passes because the monthly check was added, it has moved a decision into the lab output. The output was scored from the booleans, and the monitoring boolean is still unmet. The vendor's promise to fix the gap stays a promise. It does not switch the watch on inside this file.

10.2 Worked example

Name the habit before you say whether the file already has it.

Synthetic case. No live alert channel is described. The monthly check is a sentence in the decision, not a screen in the lab.

Errors and limits

Planning a look is useful and still future. The gap line is the evidence about today.

Apply

• EX056 — Which watch is on? Elena's monthly check compares points with purchases and reviews privileged events. The daily reconciliation already passes. Does either one mean role changes and pauses are monitored?
  Show marking criteria

  Rubric: 3 = role changes and pauses stay unmonitored; the daily reconciliation stays its own pass; the monthly check is not that monitor already running;; 2 = the monitoring gap stays;; 1 = the monthly check only;; 0 = none.
