Automated system health/status monitoring

Purpose

1. Automate continuous monitoring of critical dental implant provider systems—servers, network devices, practice management software, clinical databases, imaging systems, and cloud-based resources.

2. Automate instantly detecting failures, slowdowns, security incidents, database connection drops, and integration outages, enabling automated alerting and reporting within the dental services sector.

3. Automatedly generate actionable analytics—daily uptime, performance trends, incident logs, compliance violations, maintenance schedules—across enterprise dental operations.

4. Automate escalation of health/status anomalies to IT, compliance, and medical teams, with workflow-based remediation suggestions.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated anomaly detection in system metrics (CPU/RAM/disk over thresholds, unresponsive services, etc.).

2. Failed user logins, API call errors, or high-latency observed.

3. Scheduled health check frequency (every X minutes).

4. Integrations dropping connectivity or routine service status returns "degraded" or "down."

5. Security event detected (e.g., unauthorized access, failed backups, antivirus alerts).
