Description
In our quest for a consolidated monitoring and observability solution we have decided to try out Honeycomb.io. This adds the Honeycomb Beeline gem which starts tracking a lot of things right out of the box. In order to generate that initializer file I ran the recommended command:
I have already added the HONEYCOMB_API_KEY to our ENV variables on Heroku. Our goal with Honeycomb.io will be to give us a clearer picture of what is happening within our application and we hope to partner with Honeycomb to bring you another public dashboard that everyone can view.
Using this service is completely optional.
Added to documentation?
In the future, once I have ironed out how DEV will handle its monitoring I would like to add a monitoring.md file to outline how we do it so that others can use it to guide their own setups.
