1. A method for monitoring in a distributed system, in which a change in a composition of components of the system is provided in an ongoing operation of the system, the method comprising the following steps:
carrying out a component check in which an incompatibility of the components with one another is identified; and
carrying out an interface check in which an incompatibility of at least one interface between the components is identified;
wherein the component check and the interface check are carried out repeatedly during the ongoing operation of the system when the composition of the components of the system changes
wherein the carrying out of the component check includes the following steps:
acquiring at least one component specification of at least one of the components, wherein the component specification includes an identifier and/or a capacity and/or a version and/or another technical specification of the at least one of the components;
verifying the at least one of the components by checking the at least one acquired component specification based on a compatibility database and/or based on a digital twin of the at least one component and/or based on a simulation of the at least one of the components, with the component specification; identifying the incompatibility of the at least one of the components based on the verification;
wherein the carrying out of the interface check includes the following steps:
acquiring at least one interface specification of at least one of the interfaces, wherein the interface specification includes an identifier and/or a data rate and/or another technical specification of the at least one interface;
verifying the at least one interface by checking the at least one acquired interface specification based on a compatibility database and/or based on a digital twin of the at least one of the interfaces and/or based on a simulation of the at least one of the interfaces, with the interface specification;
identifying the incompatibility of the at least one of the interfaces based on the verification.
