Send data from Honeycomb to Axiom

Integrate Axiom in your existing Honeycomb stack with minimal effort and without breaking any of your existing Honeycomb workflows.

This page explains how to send data from Honeycomb to Axiom.

Prerequisites

Configure the endpoint in Axiom

  1. Click Settings > Endpoints.
  2. Click New endpoint.
  3. Click Honeycomb.
  4. Name the endpoint.
  5. Select the dataset where you want to send data.
  6. Copy the URL displayed for the newly created endpoint. This is the target URL where you send the data.

Configure Honeycomb

In Honeycomb, specify the following environment variables:

  • APIKey or WriteKey is your Honeycomb API token. For information, see the Honeycomb documentation.
  • APIHost is the target URL for the endpoint you have generated in Axiom by following the procedure above. For example, https://opbizplsf8klnw.ingress.axiom.co.
  • Dataset is the name of the Axiom dataset where you want to send data.

Examples

Send logs from Honeycomb using JavaScript

const Libhoney = require('libhoney');
const hny = new Libhoney({
  writeKey: '',
  dataset: '',
  apiHost: '',
});

hny.sendNow({ message: 'Welcome to Axiom Endpoints!' });

Send logs from Honeycomb using Python

import libhoney
libhoney.init(writekey="", dataset="", api_host="")

event = libhoney.new_event()
event.add_field("foo", "bar")
event.add({"message": "Welcome, to Axiom Endpoints!"})
event.send()

Send logs from Honeycomb using Golang

package main

import (
	"github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-go"
)

func main() {
	libhoney.Init(libhoney.Config{
		WriteKey: "",
		Dataset:  "",
		APIHost:  "",
	})

	defer libhoney.Close() // Flush any pending calls to Honeycomb

	var ev = libhoney.NewEvent()
	ev.Add(map[string]interface{}{
		"duration_ms":    155.67,
		"method":         "post",
		"hostname":       "endpoints",
		"payload_length": 43,
	})
	ev.Send()
}
