'show monitor session 1' provides details of the session. 'show monitor' lists all sessions. 'debug monitor' enables debugging for SPAN operations. 'show running-config | include monitor' shows the configuration but is not a direct troubleshooting command for operational issues. 'show ip interface brief' shows IP status, not SPAN.
