Cc @mipsytipsy May know?
Anyone know the details of how observability migrated from control theory to distributed computing? It’s been really weird for me to see a familiar concept turn unfamiliar. I see people acknowledge the provenance but haven’t found details. Is there a seminal paper?

more people feeling the pain in distributed systems since more people are working on them said people less likely to be formally educated on cybernetics and control people who work in real time control systems talk about the concepts publicly less due to nature of work

@mipsytipsy , as far as I can tell carried the idea in her own two hands. You two would get along. -
yeah, that was my fault, for better or for worse. i've written more about it here, https://thenewstack.io/observability-a-3-year-retrospective/ … and the technical definition as applied to software here, https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/so-you-want-to-build-an-observability-tool/ … happy to chat more if you want, i am curious why you're curious :)

I mainly saw migration of ideas from control theory into complex distributed systems via reference to various books, no papers. Then the ground-up rethinking by smart folks of the ways data about such things is thought about, collected
