The Honeycomb OpenTelemetry Exporter for Golang

Default Exporter

The Exporter can be initialized as a default exporter:

exporter := honeycomb.NewExporter(honeycomb.Config{
    ApiKey:  <YOUR-API-KEY>,
    Dataset: <YOUR-DATASET>,
    Debug:   true, // optional to output to stdout
})
exporter.ServiceName = "example-server"
defer exporter.Close()
exporter.Register()

Sampling

The default exporter uses the OpenTelemetry Default Sampler DefaultSampler: trace.AlwaysSample() under the hood.

You can configure sampling with Honeycomb with either Deterministic Sampling or Dynamic Sampling.

Read more about sampling with Honeycomb in our docs.
