Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud used by enterprise-scale companies.

System Monitor (Sysmon) is Windows’ service for monitoring activity and recording it to the Windows event log. It is the go-to for logging anything on a PC.

They can provide helpful information that can be used for debugging as well as analytics that can be used to understand how users interact with an application.
