# Kafka Lineage with Conduktor Console

Stream Lineage turns the producers, consumers, and topics you already run into a map you can walk. Switch between application instances and the raw service accounts behind them, toggle topics on and off, and follow a path out as many hops as you need.

The interesting part is what the map catches: a service account reading production data that was never registered as an application. It shows up on the graph the moment traffic does.

## What You'll Learn

- Read the estate through application instance and service account views
- Use the Topics and Live toggles to narrow the graph to real traffic
- Drill down hop by hop from any producer or consumer
- Spot unregistered service accounts touching production data
