A valuable solution for application teams to identify downtime and SLO-related issues
Pros and Cons
- "The solution's initial setup process was straightforward since we were getting enough support from Honeycomb.io's team."
- "The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Honeycomb.io facilitates the identification of service downtime by integrating with our logging endpoint in Splunk. We log the endpoint in Splunk, and Honeycomb.io scrapes those logs. Honeycomb.io employs a different set of queries to alert the application team whenever it is unable to scrape the logs. This notification informs the team that the app is down.
What is most valuable?
There aren't currently many features we are using in the solution. The features that we use in the solution are to improve the functioning of our organization.
What needs improvement?
The process of log scraping gets delayed on Honeycomb.io. At times, it gives false alerts to the application team.
It would be good if Honeycomb.io could integrate with third-party tools or paid services, which can make it easy for us to alert our teams more frequently.
