Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
suraj
and
I've
been
contributing
to
captain
for
around
eight
months
now
I
basically
got
to
know
about
captain
from
one
of
the
members
from
cncf
community
and
one
of
the
contributors
to
captain
at
that
point
of
time.
Jurgen
was
really
active
at
that
point
time
and
really
got
me
into
captain
basically,
and
that's
where
I
am,
but
here
I
am
today.
A
B
A
Yeah,
so
what
so?
What
is?
What's
one
of
the
project
areas
you've
been
you've
been
working
on?
Is
there
something
you
know
that
we
could
see
or
learn
about?
Maybe
we
won't
see
it
on
our
video,
but
you
know
just
to
learn
about
you
know
where
you've
been
contributing
because
there's
like
the
front
end
application
area.
There's
the
orchestration
engine,
there's
also
data
providers.
You
know
what
what
area
have
you
been
involved
with.
B
Initially
I
started
out
with
contributing
to
like
good
first
issues:
refactoring
some
of
the
cli
side
code
later
on.
I
worked
on
the
sli
provider
for
ddr.
It's
part
of
the
captain,
sandbox
repository
now
and
soon
it's
in
experimental
stages.
Now,
but
hopefully
it
will
be
a
thing
I'll.
I
think
next
to
primitis
and
dynatrace
is
a
lab
provider
and
what
I'm
working
on
right
now
is
another
sli
provider,
question
logic.
A
Oh
wow,
that's
great
yeah,
because
the
sli
provider
for
those
who
don't
know
it
is
a
way
of
feeding
different
service
level
metrics
to
be
automatically
evaluated.
So
you
know,
captain
started
off
with
prometheus.
We've
got
one
with
dynatrace.
So
what's
what's
the
one
that
you're
you're
working
on
what
what
data
source.
B
I
think
the
boilerplate
captain
really
provides
a
nice
toilet
paper
developing
integrations.
I
think
one
of
the
main
problems
that,
for
me
was
understanding
how
it
what
to
us,
what
to
query
basically
and
and
what
to
query
with
data
was
the
first
problem
which
you
could
get
from
the
sli
file.
The
second
problem
was:
how
do
you
get
the
right
data
so
that
you
can
send
back
the
result
to
the
captain
control
and
that
is
done
and
there's
there's.
B
A
B
Of
course,
I
am
actually
looking
for
a
lot
of
I'm
actually
looking
for
feedback
now,
so
it
really
helped.
It
would
really
help
me
if
people
try
out
the
project
more,
it
sits
under
captain
sandbox
organization
and
the
name
is
theta
dot
service.
You
can
just
go
there.
I
already
have
scripts
written,
so
you
can
try
it
out
locally,
just
have
to
run
the
script
and
everything
gets.
It
basically
creates
everything
for
you
and
you
can
try
it
out
and
please
let
me
know
if
what
you
think
about
it.
A
Yeah,
that's
great
yeah.
Well,
hopefully,
with
the
meet
the
captain
crew,
you
know,
there's
a
challenge
for
you
guys
out.
There
give
this
a
shot
and
I
guess
parting
parting
thoughts.
Suraj
is
I
just
love
this
phrase
on
your
github
profile
and
it's
a
quote
from
a
song.
Maybe
you
could
tell
me
a
little
more
about
it,
but
here's
the
quote:
it's
it's
from
a
song
from
bob
dylan
beauty
walks
on
a
razor's
edge,
someday
I'll,
make
it
mine.
So
maybe
you
can
give
us
a
little
insight
into
what
that.
B
I
I
think
it
it
really
encapsulates
what
programming
is
all
about.
Sometimes
it's
all
rainbows
everything
just
works,
fine,
but
sometimes
it
doesn't,
and
sometimes
you
know
things
are
difficult
and
it's
it's
like,
while
you're
doing
all
of
that,
there's
constant
part
of
that
at
the
back
of
your
head
to
to
achieve
the
affection
to
strive
for
perfection
and
that
line
really
captures
the
type
walk
on
the
rope
basically,
and
I
think
it
really
suits
that
so
yeah.
That's
that's
why
I
use
it
on
my
kitchen
profile.
