Monitoring Agreement
A monitoring agreement is a services contract in which a provider continuously observes specified systems or metrics and notifies the client when thresholds are breached. Use this when a clinic, property manager, or IT vendor provides ongoing sensor or log monitoring with escalation protocols. It defines what triggers alerts, who responds, and how long data is stored.
