Instructions

Connect Honeycomb to SuperPlane using a Management Key.

Required configuration:

• Site: US (api.honeycomb.io) or EU (api.eu1.honeycomb.io) based on your account region.
• Management Key: Found in Honeycomb under Team Settings > API Keys. Must be in format <keyID>:<secret>.
• Team Slug: Your team identifier, visible in the Honeycomb URL: honeycomb.io/<team-slug>.
• Environment Slug: The environment containing your datasets (e.g. “production”). Found under Team Settings > Environments.

SuperPlane will automatically validate your credentials and manage all necessary Honeycomb resources — webhook recipients for triggers and ingest keys for actions — so no manual setup is required.

On Alert Fired

Trigger key: honeycomb.onAlertFired

Starts a workflow execution when a Honeycomb Trigger fires.

Configuration:

• Dataset Slug: The slug of the dataset that contains your Honeycomb trigger. Found in the dataset URL: honeycomb.io/<team>/datasets/<dataset-slug>.
• Trigger: The exact name of the Honeycomb trigger to listen to (case-insensitive). Found in your dataset under Triggers.

How it works: SuperPlane automatically creates a webhook recipient in Honeycomb and attaches it to the selected trigger. No manual webhook setup is required.

When the trigger fires, SuperPlane receives the webhook and starts a workflow execution with the full alert payload.

Create Event

Component key: honeycomb.createEvent

Sends a JSON event to a Honeycomb dataset.

Each key in the JSON object becomes a Honeycomb field.

Notes: • Dataset must exist • Fields must be valid JSON object • Timestamp is auto-added if missing
