Honeycomb

Infrastructure

Neotask investigates production issues and analyzes distributed traces on Honeycomb - observability through conversation, not dashboards.

• Query datasets and analyze column distributions to find anomalies before they become incidents
• Inspect SLOs and triggers to track service health against your error budgets
• Get trace links and instrumentation guidance directly in your workflow

What You Can Do

Neotask connects your team to your Honeycomb observability platform. Investigate production behavior, monitor SLOs, and debug distributed systems without leaving your conversation.

Data Exploration

List all datasets in your environment and drill into their structure. Analyze column distributions to understand cardinality, spot outliers, and identify patterns in your telemetry data.

Natural Language Queries

Build and execute Honeycomb queries through plain English. Describe what you are looking for - slow requests, error spikes, specific user journeys - and Neotask translates it into the right query.

SLO Monitoring

Inspect your SLOs to check burn rates and error budgets. Review triggers to understand alerting configuration and recent firing history. Catch budget erosion before it becomes an outage.

Distributed Tracing

Get direct trace links for specific events. When a query surfaces something interesting, jump straight to the trace view for full context across services.

Instrumentation Guidance

Ask for recommendations on how to instrument new services. Get Honeycomb-specific advice for improving observability coverage.

Every action runs autonomously or requires your approval - you decide.

Try Asking

• "What's the p99 latency for the /api/checkout endpoint over the last hour?"
• "Show me which columns have the highest cardinality in the requests dataset"
• "Are any SLOs burning through their error budget faster than expected?"
• "Get the trace link for this slow request I found in the query results"
• "What triggers are configured for the payments service?"
• "How should I instrument our new notification service for Honeycomb?"

Pro Tips

• Start with column analysis before writing queries - understanding your data shape saves time and avoids empty results.
• Combine SLO checks with query results to correlate degradation with specific changes or deployments.
• Use trace links to share findings with teammates directly - faster than explaining what you found.
• Ask for instrumentation help when adding new services to your observability stack - Honeycomb patterns differ from traditional metrics.
• Set up a daily SLO review cadence to catch budget erosion before it triggers an alert.
