description
Audits the completeness and correctness of distributed tracing across the
service mesh — verifying that every service propagates trace context
headers, checking span naming and attribute conventions against the
OpenTelemetry semantic spec, identifying services with broken or missing
parent-span links, measuring sampling-rate adequacy for long-tail latency
debugging, and validating that traces are queryable end-to-end in the
backend. Produces a tracing coverage heatmap and instrumentation gap list.
Excludes trace-backend capacity planning.
