Add Trace Visualization widget for displaying traces #505

Open sync-by-unito[bot] opened 1 year ago

sync-by-unito[bot] commented 1 year ago

Users would like to see a visualization of individual traces from their services. For now, these traces will be determined based on a user supplied trace-id header.

In addition, we can align the spans within the trace visualization using the recent clocksync integration.

Tasks:

[ ] Implement trace visualization in Vega

[ ] Implement PxL script for trace visualization

While this is significantly more simplistic than a native distributed trace UI, the http_trace_id pxl script merged in #1233 is capable of viewing all spans for a given trace id.
