Monitors were commonly given administrative roles within the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. Most prominently, monitors were tasked with servicing and maintaining the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] and ensuring that the virulent [[Flood]] stay imprisoned. Beyond their most well-known function, monitors were assigned to a wide variety of tasks by the different Forerunner [[rate]]s, ranging from robotic household servants to security,<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 291''</ref> combat support,{{Ref/Reuse|Cryptum 255-6}} fleet coordination,<ref>'''[[Halo: Warfleet]]''', page 6</ref> and duties involved with the [[Conservation Measure]]. Monitors also oversee the maintenance and function of many Forerunner facilities, including the [[Line installation]]s. Monitors are extremely intelligent, yet are completely devoted to their original function; for example, monitors whose duties involve combating the Flood are zealous about containing the parasite, and have been known to turn violently on their allies if they should attempt to violate their [[containment protocol]]s. | Monitors were commonly given administrative roles within the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]].

Most known monitors are identified by a series of numbers followed by a name. The monitors of the Halo installations have identification numbers comprised of [[seven]] raised to the power of the Halo installation's number minus one (7<sup>n-1</sup>). The names appear to consist of an adjective describing a negative emotion followed by a technological term.{{Ref/Reuse|he267}} In Forerunner [[Terminal (Halo 3)|communication logs]], Halo monitors are identified by their installation's number, a dash, and their own number; for example, 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of [[Installation 04]], is formally identified on such logs as "04-343."<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminals]]''</ref> | Most known monitors are identified by a series of numbers followed by a name.
