Honeycomb

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

Honeycomb offers three types of API keys:

  • For sending data to Honeycomb
  • Environment-scoped
  • Used by applications to send telemetry
  • For reading and modifying Honeycomb settings
  • Environment-scoped
  • Manages datasets and resources
  • For organization-wide administration
  • Not environment-scoped
  • Highest level of access

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
Honeycomb API Key Creation
  1. Give your API key a name, like cased
  2. Check the following permissions:
Honeycomb Environment Settings
  1. Enter the generated API key on Cased at app.cased.com/connections/honeycomb.io
  1. In your Honeycomb environment settings, note your environment name
  2. Enter this environment name in Cased’s Honeycomb connection settings

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.
