Why choose Honeycomb distributed tracing?
Find the trace you need
Filter by any field, or click on any spot in any graph, to get to the associated trace. Get directly to the trace that actually matters, quickly.
Delve into the details
Look under the hood of any trace span. See every field and every log statement, and better understand the interconnections between services. Zoom in for details, zoom out for the big picture.
Minimize single points of failure
Let your software teach you how it works. From experts to new team members, everyone can learn from what really happens in production.
Every field is a custom metric
Query and graph over anything in your trace spans. How many calls are made to this database, and which request URL triggered them? Filter on error message and region, then find the customer IDs seeing the highest latency.
