DevOps metrics - where to get data for calculations

To be honest, Ivan often laughed at the futile efforts of his colleagues from the monitoring department. They made great efforts to implement the metrics that the company's management ordered them to achieve. They were so busy that they didn't want anyone else to do anything.
