A previous company I worked at had a way to translate logs into sequence diagrams - specifically in this case SIP message flow. by searching for an ID you could see all of the services which interacted with the message flow, and by clicking on the arrow a full version of the message which was sent.

It was amazingly useful for diagnosing problems. I wish more logging systems were able to visualise flows through a system of micro services so well!

For microservice tracing, you might want to look at Zipkin [0], or OpenTelemetry [1]
