IMO, monitor_ seems weird versus track_. To me monitor implies actions
to be taken when thresholds are met. PostgreSQL doesn't do that.
PostgreSQL tracks/stores information for application to monitor or
interact with and those application may doing something based on the
tracked information.

However, both are better than what we have.
