Update utils documentation

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

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

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The issue names utils documentation and config but provides no file paths, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the configuration and existing documentation, then determine how monitoring is currently handled and where defaults are defined. Done means configurable monitoring support is documented and its behavior is covered by the project’s existing checks.
