How to track field changes and log it in the chatter

Question

In many cases in Odoo, like Opportunities for example, if we change certain fields (*Expected Revenue *etc.), it automatically logs it in the chatter with the message:
*Expected Revenue: *50000 -> 60000
or something like that. Does anyone know how this is achieved exactly? Because, it doesn't seem to send this text as a message when writing a record, it just seems to be part of some default functionality

Hello,
How can we do that if we want to track a system field that doesn't allow to change "track_visibility" in the parameters (read only)?

Hello Shawn,
The main key of the message is "track_visibility" parameter in the fields.
