What is Observability?
In control theory, observability is a measure of how well internal states
of a system can be inferred from knowledge of its external outputs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observability

Monitoring tells you whether a system is working;

observability lets you understand why it isn't working

Good observability allows you to answer the questions you didn't know
that you needed to ask
