1. A component monitoring system that is configured to indirectly monitor an operative health status of an operative component, the component monitoring system comprising:

  • an ambient condition sensor within a chamber;

    an operative component coupled to the chamber, wherein the ambient condition sensor is configured to sample an ambient condition within the chamber when the operative component is active, wherein the ambient condition sensor is configured to output ambient condition data indicative of the ambient condition sampled by the ambient condition sensor;

    at least one control unit that is in communication with the ambient condition sensor, wherein the at least one control unit is configured to indirectly determine the operative health status of the operative component through an analysis of the ambient condition data; and

    one or more environmental sensors in communication with the at least one control unit, wherein the at least one control unit is configured to correlate one or more environmental parameters detected by the one or more environmental sensors with the ambient condition data.
