This area of Platform Core focuses on the ongoing administration of the platform itself: system configuration, auditability, and license status. It helps ensure that the platform remains secure, transparent, and operational over time. ## What You Can Manage Here This section includes: * [System](/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/governance-and-monitoring/system.md) for central system settings and technical behavior * [Audit Trail](/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/governance-and-monitoring/audit-trail.md) for reviewing tracked system actions * [License](/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/governance-and-monitoring/license.md) for checking license details and status ## Why It Matters Governance & Monitoring gives administrators the visibility and control required to run BuildingPro Suites as a managed platform rather than just a collection of features. It supports operational reliability, accountability, and controlled lifecycle management across the system. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/governance-and-monitoring.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
