Description: Monitoring or observing system processes is a fundamental activity in operating system and application management. This process involves collecting and analyzing data about the performance and status of running processes. Through various tools and commands, administrators can obtain information about resource usage, such as CPU, memory, and disk, as well as identify potential bottlenecks or failures in the system. Observation allows administrators to make informed decisions to optimize performance, make configuration adjustments, and ensure system stability. In development environments, observation is also crucial for error diagnosis and continuous application improvement. Tools like ‘top’, ‘htop’, and ‘ps’ in Unix-like systems, or the use of libraries in frameworks like Vue.js to monitor application state, are examples of how observation can be implemented in different contexts. In summary, observing system processes is an essential practice that contributes to the efficiency and overall health of computing environments.
