How Monitoring Works

Learn how Sprinto’s Monitoring dashboard works behind the scenes to help you track, evaluate, and fix compliance checks in real time.

What is Monitoring

Monitoring in Sprinto helps you track the health and compliance of automated and workflow-based checks across your organisation. These checks are linked to entities like systems, staff, or controls, and can be either integration-driven or manually managed.

It gives you real-time visibility into:

  • Which checks are passing

  • Which ones need your attention

  • How tasks are performing at a granular level


How does it work

Monitoring works through a combination of integrations, workflows, and compliance logic. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

Step 1: Access Monitoring

  • Log in to your Sprinto dashboard.

  • From the left navigation pane, go to Monitoring.

  • You’ll land on the Active Checks tab by default.

You can toggle between three tabs:

  • Active Checks: Running checks with live data.

  • Available Checks: Checks you can activate.

  • Disabled Checks: Inactive or manually turned-off checks.


Step 2: View Summary and Health Metrics

At the top of the Monitoring page, you’ll see a summary bar that gives you a high-level view of your compliance health:

  • Active checks: Number of monitors currently in use.

  • Passing checks: Monitors where all tasks are passing.

  • Checks requiring attention: Checks with at least one failing, due, or critical task.

  • Integrations: Total integrations powering your automated checks.


Step 3: Review and Filter Checks

The Monitoring table lists every check in your workspace, along with:

  • Type: Automated or Workflow

  • Entity: The resource being monitored

  • Provider: AWS, GitHub, Azure, etc.

  • Area: People, Infrastructure, Access, etc.

  • Task status: Visual indicators for Passed, Due, Failing, Critical

You can apply filters across tabs to drill down based on:

  • Framework

  • Control

  • Area

  • Task status

  • Owner

  • Provider

  • Check type


Step 4: Investigate a Check

Click View & Fix or View Details to open a check.

This gives you:

  • A breakdown of entity-level performance

  • A health summary for the check

  • Frameworks or controls it maps to

  • A view of the tasks contributing to its status

If it’s a workflow check, you’ll see setup instructions and configuration options in a side drawer.


Step 5: Create or Enable Checks

From the Monitoring page, you can:

  • Create checks from templates

  • Add custom checks with full configuration

  • Bulk upload checks using a CSV

Automated checks activate automatically once the required integrations are in place.


What happens next?

Sprinto evaluates each check at regular intervals or based on the workflow frequency you define. It keeps track of compliance status and flags any check where tasks are due, failing, or critical.

All of this helps you:

  • Stay on top of compliance without digging through multiple systems

  • Quickly identify gaps

  • Take action directly from the Monitoring dashboard
