Ignite | Observability vs Monitoring - A Linguistic Analysis
summary
Claims that observability is a property the system has and monitoring is what operators do with that property, demonstrated by adding logging or an open telemetry SDK to create data, then feeding that data into graphana dashboards to monitor. Historical meaning from control theory (ability to infer internal state from outputs) maps to this workflow: increase observability by collecting signals, then act on them by building dashboards and alerts to monitor system health.
