How to debug service? How to follow traffic from service to pod?

Hi,

I have a service which is forwarding / loadbalancing to 3 pods.
Is it possible to track the traffic from ingress -> service -> node?

I want to check if loadbalancing is working fine and if an unavailable pod is not routet anylonger, etc.

Thanks, Andreas
