Send metrics to honeycomb

1

Hey, the Fly metrics are nice but our team centralizes everything into Honeycomb. Are there any guides about how we could export the metrics into Honeycomb OTEL Metrics?

Thanks!

Deploy a fly-log-shipper app that reads logs sent to Fly-managed NATS endpoint (specific to one’s Fly org) by all Fly app instances and plonks them into any among the many supported destinations (incl honeycomb): Fly Logs over NATS

Just to be clear, we’re talking about the cpu/mem etc. metrics of apps, not the application logs. Right?

Oh no, thats for app logs.

I haven’t had the need to use it, but for metrics, check out Fly’s built-in Prometheus scraper that can export metrics to whatever speaks Prometheus; ref: How To Use Fly Metrics and Feature preview: Custom metrics

Alternatively, you can opt to run Honeycomb’s OpenTelemetry agent along side your app process: Running Multiple Processes Inside A Fly.io App · Fly Docs

(For machines, instead see: Multi process machines).

I neither use honeycomb nor custom Fly metrics, so I may be way off here.

Thanks for the info!
