A plugin for graphana or datadog/similar would be amazing. a ping at one frequency for a request hitting the load balancer, a ping at a different frequencies for a request hitting a given endpoint, a bloop for a request hitting Kafka/the queue, a tone that lasts for as long as the job takes to process the job. a bong for a request hitting the db lasting as long as the query takes. the combined cacofony of sound would grow to feel comfortable when the site is properly operational. and then, with it just sitting open in the background, if something is off, someone could immediately tell without sitting there watching graphs when their brain subconsciously says something happened to the usual pitter patter of the machine operating.

Relevant to the auditory monitoring is my project called sysm: https://github.com/jafarlihi/sysm

It gives you a framework for configuring such audio pieces.
