Intro to o11y Topic 7: Interpreting Honeycomb’s Trace View

Distributed Tracing
Observability

Description:

In this video, Developer Advocate Jessica Kerr explains how to interpret the data in Honeycomb’s powerful trace view. By the end of the video, you’ll understand how to see:

  • times, duration, concurrency in the waterfall
  • causality in the tree of spans
  • removing, adding, and coloring by fields
  • field library.name for where the telemetry came from
  • field span.kind for the client/server role

Note: This video assumes you have already connected your app to Honeycomb. Jessica Kerr is using a sample app called Sequence of Numbers. If you would like to download the app and follow along, you can do so using the process from Intro to o11y Topic 3. If you need help connecting your app to Honeycomb, see Intro to o11y Topic 4.
