Why each option
Event management is the ITIL process responsible for monitoring IT services and detecting when performance drops below acceptable thresholds, triggering appropriate responses.
Service asset and configuration management maintains accurate records of configuration items and their relationships, not real-time performance monitoring.
Event management continuously monitors all events across the IT infrastructure, detects exceptions when performance drops below acceptable limits, and triggers alerts or escalations accordingly. It is the designated ITIL process for surveillance of the operational environment and serves as the entry point for many service operation activities.
Service catalogue management maintains a database of available and live IT services for customer reference, not performance threshold monitoring.
Problem management identifies and resolves root causes of incidents after they occur, not the detection of live performance deviations.
