Well, it's logged.... but, yeah. In general, we don't have a standard,
integrated monitoring/alerting service for Fedora, except for desktop
notifications, which aren't ideal for many cases. (Like, basically
anything but a single-user desktop.) Working on fixing this would be an
interesting project — maybe under Fedora Server...

Yep. And note, by the way, that you shouldn't edit the files in
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ — instead, create new ones in
/etc/systemd/system/ with the same name. These will be merged, with
values from /etc taking precedence. (And in recent systemd, you can use
`systemctl cat` to show the merged files, or `systemctl edit` as a
handy way to call your prefered editor to edit the config snippets.)
