Already been done by me in another post, but *shrugs* I'll do it again.
It basically means taking the "worthy" of the forerunner, or even other civilizations, and protecting them in the Dyson Sphere Shield worlds. After the Halos are triggered, presumably it's one of the roles of the monitors to study the flood infection forms to find a viable defence against them, ready to pass on to either the re-emergent forerunner, or to humanity.

SOMEONE ELOBARATE ON MY EXCITED RAMBLING!
lol, I'm freakin excited about this too! It's amazing that they really didn't give us THAT much info, but what we got is HUGE! Just a few words confirmed so much (while at the same time striking down tons of other theories )...
Edit: Maybe that means we have more monitors than we originally thought. One for Onyx, the Ark, and others for whatever could be hiding on the covenant planets.
