Optimize models for large datasets

**Description**
Currently controllers lacks proper monitoring support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable monitoring with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the controllers and any existing monitoring configuration, then determine the required configurable options and sensible defaults; done means controllers provide the requested monitoring support without requiring configuration for common cases.
