When you are working with Java, we recommend these methods of sending data to Honeycomb.
When you want to instrument Java applications in a standard, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof way, we recommend using the OpenTelemetry Java Agent to send telemetry data to Honeycomb. The OpenTelemetry Java Agent allows you to send traces, logs, and metrics.
When you want to simplify the process of instrumenting applications and sending data to Honeycomb, use the Honeycomb Distribution for Java, which wraps the official OpenTelemetry Java Agent.
When you need to create and send structured logs to Honeycomb, use Libhoney for Java, our structured logging library for Java applications.
