Note
This feature is available as an add-on for the Honeycomb Enterprise plan. Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.

Custom Processor 

The Custom processor can be used to inject a custom processor configuration into a pipeline. A list of supported processors can be found here.

The Custom processor is useful for solving use cases not covered by the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline’s other processor types.

Supported Types 

Metrics Logs Traces

The custom processor type can support all telemetry types, however, it is up to the user to enable / disable the correct types
based on the processor being used.
