Description

This issue is to capture ideas/requirements for visualising Orleans, with the hope that we can form a strategy to build some cohesive tooling (probably not in the main Orleans repo to begin with).

There are a number of initiatives to make Orleans easier to visualise and monitor runtime performance:

Outside of Orleans, Service Fabric includes a dashboard out of the box,

Netflix also has some impressive visualisations

What do people want to see? A dashboard, an API, a control panel?

Research direction
This issue is a brainstorming thread for visualization and monitoring tools for Orleans. It references several existing projects like OrleansDashboard, Orniscient, and others. A newcomer should first review those tools to understand current capabilities and gaps. The maintainers have not provided specific requirements, so further investigation into community needs and existing dashboards is needed before proposing a concrete solution.
