Honeycomb

Connect Cased to Honeycomb to monitor your application’s metrics, traces, and logs in one unified observability platform

Honeycomb

Honeycomb offers three types of API keys:

API Key Types

Ingest Keys

• For sending data to Honeycomb
• Environment-scoped
• Used by applications to send telemetry

Configuration Keys (Cased requires this)

• For reading and modifying Honeycomb settings
• Environment-scoped
• Manages datasets and resources

Management Keys

• For organization-wide administration
• Not environment-scoped
• Highest level of access

Generate a Configuration Key

Cased requires a Configuration key to access your Honeycomb data. This is because Cased needs to:

• Read your datasets to monitor application performance
• Access environment information to track changes
• Query team information for proper access control

To generate the required Configuration key:

1. Navigate to your Honeycomb environment settings or visit Honeycomb API Keys
2. Click the ‘Create Configuration API Key’ button

3. Give your API key a name, like cased
4. Check the following permissions:

5. Enter the generated API key on Cased at app.cased.com/connections/honeycomb.io

Configure Environment

1. In your Honeycomb environment settings, note your environment name
2. Enter this environment name in Cased’s Honeycomb connection settings

API Key Scopes

The Configuration key requires access to:

• Query and retrieve data from your datasets
• Access environment information

We recommend not restricting the API key’s access to specific datasets so Cased agent can provide comprehensive monitoring and debugging capabilities.
