Visualize live traces with https://github.com/jeluard/otel-ui

[etorreborre]

Abstract

This would enable us to:

• See which stages might be blocked at runtime
• Inspect an individual trace.
• Check performances

Ideally we should be able to observe the behavior of 2 or 3 connected amaru nodes.

Why?

This can help validate the runtime behavior of the node, less seen as a black box, without having to scour all the logs.

How?

Mostly by:

• Evolving otel-ui to display several services.
• Making sure we display the relevant spans

Testing Strategy / Acceptance Criteria

Start otel-ui locally, a node topology and observe traces in the browser.
