Common verbs used with 'Monitoring' (monitoring) are 'durchführen' (to carry out), 'sicherstellen' (to ensure), or 'starten' (to start). What is being monitored is often attached with the genitive or with 'von' (of).

control / check
'die Kontrolle' and 'das Monitoring' both have to do with observing and checking. 'Kontrolle' can be a single check or inspection, but it can also mean that you control or have command over something. 'Monitoring' usually means the continuous and systematic observation of a process, system, or condition. It often sounds more technical or specialized, for example in technology, medicine, or project work. The words can be confused because monitoring also includes a form of Kontrolle. For a brief check, 'Kontrolle' is more natural; for regular observation over a longer period of time, 'Monitoring' fits better.
