Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'monitoring' (the act of observing/recording) with 'program' (computer instructions); together they straightforwardly describe a program that observes or records system operations. This noun–noun composition follows common, cross-linguistic patterns and would be easily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The term monitoring program comes from the image of a person who watches machines or services to find problems. Here monitor means 'watch' and program means a computer tool, so it refers to a tool that watches a system and warns you when something goes wrong.
