Your Honeycomb Team account is structured into Environments, which partition your data and organize your Honeycomb resources. Each Environment contains multiple Datasets, which group your data.
Whereas each Dataset represents a collection of related events that come from (or are related to) the same source, each Environment represents the context for those events. So all events within an Environment should be related to one another, but each Environment should be distinct and separate from all other Environments.
Honeycomb treats Environments as completely distinct entities with no connection to one another. Each query can be run within a single Environment, but across any Datasets within that Environment.
Each Environment consists of a set of datasets, a set of API keys, a set of custom fields, and a set of markers.
Manage your Honeycomb Environments, which partition your data and organize your Honeycomb resources. Learn how to create and delete Environments, and how to change the Environment description and label color.
Manage your Honeycomb API Keys. Use specialized Ingest Keys to send telemetry data to Honeycomb and use Configuration Keys to manage resources in your Honeycomb Environment. Learn how to create and delete API keys, and identify which permissions you may grant to your API Keys."
Define unique custom fields for use across all Datasets contained within your Environment. Otherwise known as Derived Columns, custom fields are computed properties that are calculated by a formula. Learn how to create, define, and delete custom fields.
Each Environment allows you to define markers for use across the Dataset contained within it. Use markers to emphasize specific data points in time, such as deployments, incidents, activated or resolved triggers, and enabled or disabled feature flags. Learn how to create, delete, and change the appearance of markers.
