Show HN: Troubleshoot distributed systems

We'd love your feedback on our MVP, designed to help troubleshoot distributed systems in general, and web applications in particular. It's like Firebug's network tab, but for the backend.

That looks interesting. Do you have plans for a way to filter data before it arrives in your system for security/regulatory reasons? How does it handle PII?

Thanks for the question. Right now we have some heuristics to automatically take out passwords but we want to add the option to only send the URLs by default, and only enable full tracing selectively. This would help with privacy but also with the bandwidth consumption.
