![]() If you did not notice it yet, the word is a portmanteau of the words - “Observation” and “Software” - pinned together in a way that it forms a pun (so yeah, pun intended lol) sounding like “Observer”. I have been very interested in them and, I even wrote some projects around them - for instance, SuperVisor Frontend Service and Driver Service. Monitoring and observability, both have been things that, if you whisper in a crowded place, would still draw my attention. It was my opportunity to learn more about designing complex interfaces using multithreading with Qt and managing a Python project at a medium-large scale. So, my “different” stuff ended up being a “tame” effort to create a system monitor (in the wake of thousands of them already available) that helped make monitoring of advanced metrics accessible to the users with the use of interactive graphs and charts. I also had to strike a good balance in my schedule to keep at being a good lead (highly subjective) to the Fedora Websites and Apps team, an insightful mentor (well, ask her if I am or not) to my awesome Outreachy intern - Subhangi Choudhary and a member of the Community Platform Engineering team. I had to make sure that the “different” stuff that I would plan to do did not end up in the pile of projects that I just gave up on due to the ambitiousness of the ideas. To be honest, I was bored and I wanted to do something different. Why did I write this? Of course, you would expect me to tell you about the system monitors that exist now and why they fall short but no - I would not do that.
