Definition

Observation is the recorded form of phenomena that are judged worthy of being noted and stored.

Observations serve as the foundation for logging, monitoring, auditing, and troubleshooting.

Remarks

  • Observation is a primary record derived from phenomena and serves as input for further analysis or event extraction.

  • An observation itself does not carry domain-specific meaning; it is stored as a neutral record.

  • Among observations, those with meaning that trigger behaviors are modeled as domain events.
