Connect with Honeycomb

Complete these steps to set up Honeycomb integration with Small Hours:

1. Set up Honeycomb to capture exceptions and errors in your application:

   • Use Honeycomb's SDK or library for your programming language.
   • Ensure that you're capturing and sending error events to Honeycomb.

2. Create a derived column for error events:

   • Go to your Honeycomb environment settings.
   • Create a new derived column that identifies error events.
   • For example: IF(ISSET($exception.message), 1, 0) to flag events with exceptions.

3. Set up a trigger for error events:

   • Navigate to Triggers in your Honeycomb environment.
   • Create a new trigger with a condition that uses your error derived column.
   • For example: SUM(error_flag) > 0 if your derived column is named "error_flag".

4. Configure the webhook for the trigger:

   • In the trigger's "Actions" section, select "Send Webhook".
   • Set the Webhook URL to:

     https://<service_id>:<api_key>@api.smallhours.dev/v1/investigate
   • Set the HTTP method to POST.
   • In the payload, include relevant information about the error. For example:

     {
       "trigger_name": "{{TriggerName}}",
       "query_url": "{{QueryURL}}",
       "result_url": "{{ResultURL}}",
       "description": "{{Description}}",
       "error_message": "{{error.message}}",
       "error_type": "{{error.type}}",
       "stack_trace": "{{error.stack_trace}}"
     }

5. Save the trigger configuration.

Honeycomb will now send detailed information about exceptions and errors to Small Hours, allowing for accurate and timely analysis of your application's issues.
