# Investigate: Overview

> Build queries, identify outliers, correlate changes to incidents, and collaborate with your team. Everything you need to investigate your telemetry data in Honeycomb.

Discover ways to investigate your data. Find data to analyze, identify and investigate trends and outliers, and correlate changes in data to incidents. Then collaborate with your team by sharing your findings.

## Investigate with AI

<Card title="Ask Questions with Canvas" href="/investigate/canvas/">
  Ask questions about your telemetry in natural language and get interactive visualizations back.
  Canvas combines conversational AI with Honeycomb’s query engine to speed up investigations.
</Card>

<Card title="Investigate Alerts with Canvas" href="/investigate/canvas/alert-investigation">
  Jump from a firing Trigger or SLO alert directly into an AI-powered Canvas investigation that automatically queries your data and surfaces the likely cause.
</Card>

<Card title="Honeycomb Model Context Protocol (MCP)" href="/integrations/mcp/">
  Connect AI agents to your Honeycomb observability data using the Honeycomb MCP server, an implementation of the open Model Context Protocol standard.
</Card>

<Card title="Agent Skills for AI Coding Assistants" href="/integrations/agent-skills">
  Give your AI coding assistants deep knowledge of observability, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, production debugging, and Honeycomb features.
</Card>

## Observe

<Card title="View General Health" href="/investigate/observe/honeycomb-home/">
  Get a snapshot of your dataset in Honeycomb Home: commonly-used queries, recent traces and events, and key visualizations to orient on system health fast.
</Card>

<Card title="Custom Workspaces" href="/investigate/observe/boards/">
  Create centralized workspaces in Honeycomb to organize queries, monitor SLOs, collaborate with teammates, and save visualizations for reuse and sharing.
</Card>

<Card title="Frontend Launchpad" href="/investigate/observe/web-launchpad/">
  Monitor and investigate frontend web application performance with pre-populated charts and tables tailored to browser telemetry.
</Card>

<Card title="Service Map" href="/investigate/observe/service-map/">
  Map traffic flow across your services, spot dependencies, and drill into individual service relationships with Honeycomb’s Service Map.
</Card>

## Query

<Card title="Build a Query" href="/investigate/query/build/">
  Construct queries to ask powerful questions, and find and analyze data from scratch. Build queries manually or from natural language.
</Card>

<Card title="Query Examples: Traces" href="/investigate/query/examples-traces/">
  Explore example queries of trace data to use as inspiration when analyzing the performance and behavior of your applications.
</Card>

<Card title="Query Examples: Metrics" href="/investigate/query/examples-metrics/">
  Explore example queries of metrics data to use as inspiration when analyzing the performance and behavior of your systems.
</Card>

<Card title="Customize Results" href="/investigate/query/customize-results/">
  Customize how you interact with your data. Customize the display of your query results and annotate with markers to identify points in time.
</Card>

## Analyze

<Card title="Explore Traces" href="/investigate/analyze/explore-traces/">
  Explore the deep context of what happened when an action occurred.
</Card>

<Card title="Explore Events" href="/investigate/analyze/explore-events/">
  Explore a query's underlying events within a specific timeframe.
</Card>

<Card title="Visualize Events Over Time" href="/investigate/analyze/visualize-events/">
  Expand your data over two dimensions.
</Card>

<Card title="Identify Outliers" href="/investigate/analyze/identify-outliers/">
  Analyze and rapidly identify the cause of outliers by highlighting unusual events.
</Card>

<Card title="Correlate" href="/investigate/analyze/correlate/">
  Correlate your queries with metrics.
</Card>

## Collaborate

<Card title="Share a Trace" href="/investigate/collaborate/share-trace/">
  Create links that open traces directly in Honeycomb, so you can jump straight from another tool into the trace waterfall view.
</Card>

<Card title="Share a Query" href="/investigate/collaborate/share-query/">
  Create parameterized links to generate new queries that you can share or link to from third-party tools.
</Card>

<Card title="Explore Team Query History" href="/investigate/collaborate/explore-team-query-history/">
  Search through your own query history and those of your teammates to learn how a problem was solved previously.
</Card>

## Diagnose
