OtelJazz: Sonifying multi-agent telemetry to make drift and failures audible
mob1ius · reddit · 2026-08-28
- Motivation: Built OtelJazz to address the difficulty of tracking multiple parallel agent logs visually, leveraging continuous auditory monitoring to detect drift and failures.
- Mapping Logic: 7 piano voices represent agents, with chord thickness indicating agent count. Rhythmic grid deviations signal task drift, unintended unison suggests collusion, and dropped voices indicate silent stalls; tempo tracks throughput.
- Key Design: Telemetry drives rhythm and density only, never harmony, preventing noise and maintaining a stable baseline for dynamics.
- Status: Demo uses synthetic browser data; the repo includes real capture hooks (OTLP receiver) not yet wired to the frontend. Code is MIT licensed.
