libhoney

libhoney

A node module for interacting with Honeycomb. (For more information, see the documentation and JavaScript SDK guide.)

NOT for use in browser-side JavaScript applications. Write keys are your auth tokens for sending data to Honeycomb and should be kept secure -- they're not per-site keys. Don't leave yourself vulnerable to malicious users.

Installation

npm install libhoney --save-dev

Documentation

An API reference is available at https://doc.esdoc.org/github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-js/

Example

Honeycomb can calculate all sorts of statistics, so send the values you care about and let us crunch the averages, percentiles, lower/upper bounds, cardinality -- whatever you want -- for you.

import Libhoney from 'libhoney';

let hny = new Libhoney({
  writeKey: "YOUR_WRITE_KEY",
  dataset: "honeycomb-js-example"
});

hny.sendNow({
  message: "Test Honeycomb event",
  randomFloat: Math.random(),
  hostname: os.hostname(),
  favoriteColor: "chartreuse"
});
