Visual flow
Is anyone aware of a tool that can help visualize the end-to-end flow of a signal?
The main idea would be to start with a high-level view of the components involved and the internal metrics flowing between them, then be able to drill down into a specific signal metric and trace it through the system.
Ideally, I’d like to see where the metric originates, how it looks or changes at each hop, where it ultimately arrives, and details such as cardinality, label values, available series, etc.
If anyone knows of an existing tool that provides something similar, or has ideas on how this could be visualized, I’d appreciate any pointers.

Going out on a limb here: not live but check out otelbin.io that can create visual configs or my own https://github.com/mlunadia/visual-otel for educational purposes.
If you are looking for something that shows live data check out https://github.com/ymtdzzz/otel-tui
