Relational Fields: Query Even More Relationships in Your Traces

Oct 30, 2024 By Quinn Leong In Honeycomb
Earlier this year, we introduced relational fields. Relational fields enable you to query spans based on their relationship to one other within a trace, rather than only in isolation. We’ve now expanded this feature and introduced four new prefixes: child., none., any2., and any3.. Previously, you could use root., parent., and any. to query on the root span of your target span’s trace, the parent span of your target span, and any other span in the same trace as your target span.

Tame Your Telemetry: Introducing the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline

Oct 28, 2024 By Jessica Kerr In Honeycomb
Observability means you know what’s happening in your software systems, because they tell you. They tell you with telemetry: data emitted just for the people developing and operating the software. You already have telemetry–every log is a data point about something that happened. Structured logs or trace spans are even better, containing many pieces of data correlated in the same record. But you want to start from what you have, then improve it as you improve the software.
