Abstract
In a university entity with several sites and operational environments, monitoring digital services relied on a fragmented technical review process involving separate queries across different platforms, manual records, and periodic validations. This made it difficult to obtain a clear view of the overall network status. To address this situation, an automated system was designed and implemented to integrate heterogeneous information sources, normalize operational data, and generate weekly indicators for five institutional environments. The methodology was organized into the stages of design, configuration, installation, and testing, with emphasis on reusing existing tools, protecting sensitive information, and producing an executive visualization of the environment. This implementation reduced dependence on manual processes, consolidated dispersed technical information, and supported operational monitoring of the institutional network.
