This feature is available as an add-on for the Honeycomb Enterprise plan. Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.
The Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline (HTP) is a powerful, OpenTelemetry-native platform designed to ingest, process, and transform observability data at scale. Built for the complex needs of modern, high-volume systems, HTP provides flexible and efficient telemetry management. With HTP, your team can extract meaningful insights from your data and control costs without losing visibility. HTP is composed of three primary components: You can use any or all of these components.

​
Pipeline Manager

Pipeline Manager is an enterprise-grade platform for managing telemetry pipelines at scale. Pipeline Manager is ideal for teams needing a reliable, agent-based data collection tool with centralized fleet management capabilities.

​
Enhance

Enhance enables you to store full-fidelity data in your own AWS S3 buckets and rehydrate it into Honeycomb on-demand within the UI. It is built to address pain points like sampling gaps, log proliferation, and costly third-party archival tools.

Enhance with Archive

Store telemetry data in Amazon S3 and rehydrate it on-demand in Honeycomb. Use indexed fields for faster queries at lower cost.

Pipeline Health

Free, non-billable environment (pipeline−telemetrypipeline-telemetry) included with HTP for monitoring operational telemetry for Refinery and Collectors. Requires E&S (not Classic)
  • How to send data to it:
    • Environment is enabled by account team on HTP purchase
    • Customer gets an ingest key for their Pipeline Telemetry environment
    • Send operational data from Refinery
      • Set REFINERY_HONEYCOMB_API_KEY env var in Refinery config to that ingest key
  • How to observe
    • Refinery 3.0 board template for refinery
    • OTel Collector Ops board template

​
Pipeline Telemetry Environment

The Pipeline Telemetry Environment is a full-featured Honeycomb Environment that does not count against your event quotas. Because it is a full Honeycomb Environment, you can:
  • Create custom queries and Boards to analyze pipeline telemetry.
  • Select any chart title to explore the underlying query.
  • Set up SLOs to monitor pipeline performance.
  • Configure Triggers to alert on pipeline issues.
  • Use Canvas to ask questions about your pipeline data.
For example, you might create an SLO that alerts when your pipeline stops receiving data or set up a Trigger to notify you when error rates increase. Access the Pipeline Telemetry Environment from the Environment selector in the navigation menu, just as you would any other Environment.
