The duality of observability is controllability. Observability is the ability to infer the internal state of a "machine” from externally exposed signals. Controllability is the ability to control input to direct the internal state to the desired outcome. We need both in today's cloud native world.

PromCat, short for Prometheus Catalog, is a resource catalog for enterprise-class Prometheus monitoring. Prometheus has been revolutionary in the way we monitor our cloud-native environments, attracting immense attention from the open-source community and making the amount of Prometheus monitoring resources explode. Now, there are so many resources available that it’s no longer easy to filter out the good ones and discard those that are poorly documented or obsolete.
