Within the NIST RMF
application, the Monitor section involves the on-going monitoring of the
security controls for targets documenting changes to them or their environments of operation,
conducting security impact analyses of the associated changes, and reporting their security state
to designated officials.
Note:  
Starting with version 10.1.0, the NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator will be supported only for customers who currently use the product. New and existing customers should consider using the GRC: Continuous Authorization Monitoring application. For details, [Continuous Authorization and Monitoring](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/s5uGqPgL9j543l_fdj99WQ "Continuous Authorization and Monitoring (CAM) employs the seven steps defined by the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) to allow you to make better-informed decisions about your security posture.").

Monitoring is a critical step in the RMF process. In-effective targets (profiles), controls,
and test plans can be continuously monitored and their known risks and issues addressed.
Security controls should be automatically monitored where possible using indicators, triggering
alerts for remediation.

To continuously monitor a security control, users can use the indicator templates provided
with the NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator application, by
navigating to NIST RMFContentIndicator Templates. The sample indicator templates and indicators begin with
NIST. Users must create new indicators beginning with
NIST for monitoring the security controls.
* **[Review and manage indicators](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WcWZ2OdGt3hC6t118XH3Ig)**   
  Review all indicators that are set up for NIST and manage them to track their results.
* **[Monitor the RMF Monitor dashboard](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6fOwhyTMs6ysR2sPHou6jA)**   
  The NIST RMF monitor dashboard provides insights into the overall status of the target.
