The invention relates to the technical field of communication, and discloses a distributed monitoring method and a monitoring control device and system. Filter instances, client IDs and callback logic IDs are stored in all data servers in a distributed storage system, when clients update data to the distributed storage system, the data servers for data updating can automatically screen and filter the updated data through the filter instances, if the update data satisfies the condition of the filter instances, the update data and the callback logic IDs corresponding to the filter instances are fed back to the corresponding clients, and the clients can trigger a corresponding processing process according to the callback logic IDs in response data. The multi-process cross-host event monitoring function in the distributed storage system is achieved so that the clients can obtain notification of specified data update in real time, the event response efficiency is improved, and the user experience can be improved.
