If you use OpenTelemetry, it basically does exactly that and you can send traces to some self-hosted FOSS visualizer, like Jaeger. You can also easily get the UUID of the spans/traces and have your logger automatically put them in every log message.
I have no doubt there are many tools, but I specifically mentioned my solution because it doesn't require any tools at all and just a matter of log hygiene.
They spend the whole page talking about a scenario that I've only seen happen in production when there were no app devs involved and people are allergic to writing a log format string let alone a single line of code.
