# Catapult Remote Monitoring

Catapult remote monitoring provides 24/7 coverage of every cluster managed by Platform9. Catapult is purpose built to monitor critical cluster and application services and alert both Platform9 Support and Cluster Operations teams of issues and outages. Catapult leverages Prometheus in Agent Mode and is installed automatically onto each node that is part of the cluster. The data collected is streamed back to the SaaS Management Plane where over 50 prebuilt Prometheus rules operate to send out notifications to email, Slack and more.

### Catapult Monitoring Rules Overview

The following rules are built into Catapult and operate within the SaaS Management Plane.
