When a Trigger or SLO Burn Alert fires, Honeycomb includes an Investigate link in your notification. Clicking this link launches a new Canvas session with an AI-powered investigation of your alert.

​
Overview

When you select the Investigate () link in an alert, Honeycomb:
  1. Creates a new Canvas session.
  2. Gathers information about your alert, including alert type, timestamp, threshold, datasets, and environment.
  3. Automatically runs an investigation into its cause.
Canvas will display queries it generates for the investigation and offer hypotheses and recommendations to explore. You can interact with the investigation like any other Canvas. Investigate links appear in notifications sent to:
  • Slack
  • PagerDuty
  • Email

​
Sharing Investigations

Alert Investigations can be shared or made private like other Canvas Investigations. Select Share () to copy a shareable link to an investigation.
Clicking a Trigger or Burn Alert Investigate link will always generate a new investigation. To return to a previous investigation, select it from the Recent investigations section on the Canvas entry page.
Investigate Links are only included in alerts when:
  • Honeycomb Intelligence is enabled for your team.
  • Alerts are for a Honeycomb environment. If you use Honeycomb Classic, we recommend migrating to Environments to take advantage of this feature.
