hccli

CLI for honeycomb and observability queries

Usage instructs

1. Set the endpoint of your AI that converts natural language into HoneycombQueries

    hccli config set aiEndpoint=http://localhost:5000
   

   • This should be an instance of this cog server

2. Set the path to a file containing your honeycomb API key

   hccli  config set honeycombApiKeyFile=~/.honeycomb_api_key
   

Visualizing Honeycomb Queries

You can use Honeycomb's Query Sharing Feature to generate URLs that have the query directly in the browser which you can then just open. The CLI allows you to open these URLs directly from the command line and take a snapshot using chromedp.

1. Start Chrome with remote debugging enabled

   chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
   

2. Open up your browser and login to Honeycomb

3. Use the CLI to open the URL in the browser and take a snapshot

   hccli --query-file=model_query.json --dataset=service --base-url=https://ui.honeycomb.io/autobuilder/environments/prod/datasets/production --out-file=/tmp/screenshot.png
   

Limitations

Unfortunately the Honeycomb API only lets you fetch query data if your on the enterprise plan. See QueryData API Docs
