# Triagic + Honeycomb: ticket investigations over your logs, errors and metrics, read-only

> Honeycomb in Triagic: Run Honeycomb queries and BubbleUp, look up traces and spans, and read boards, triggers and SLOs.

## What you can ask

- Check Honeycomb for errors from the checkout service in the last hour and group them by message
- In Honeycomb, did latency for the import worker change after the 16:02 deploy?
- Find every Honeycomb event that mentions request id 7f3a-…-c2 and put them in order
- Is the alert in Honeycomb for the export queue still firing, and since when?
- What did Honeycomb record for the pod that restarted at 11:31?

## Connect in three steps

1. **Mint a read-only credential in Honeycomb.** Create a dedicated user or token that can only read. A Management key with Read scope can't run Honeycomb's write tools, and an allowlist of the documented read tools is a second fence.
2. **Add it in the Triagic portal.** Integrations, then Add shared data source, then Honeycomb. Fill in: Management API key (required): A Management key from your team settings in Honeycomb; only team owners can create one. Give it the Model Context Protocol and Environments scopes with Read, and leave Write off. Paste the key ID and secret joined by a colon.
3. **Let a desktop pick it up.** Saving validates the shape of what you typed. The first desktop app to sync starts Honeycomb locally and reports running or degraded with the error text.

## Read-only, by construction

A Management key with Read scope can't run Honeycomb's write tools, and an allowlist of the documented read tools is a second fence.

## FAQ

**Can Triagic change anything in Honeycomb?**
No. A Management key with Read scope can't run Honeycomb's write tools, and an allowlist of the documented read tools is a second fence. Give it a read-only credential as well, so the guarantee does not rest on one layer.

**What do I need to connect Honeycomb?**
Management API key. The desktop app on a member's machine starts the connection; the portal never holds a live process.

**Does Honeycomb cost extra?**
No. Every connector is included in the seat price. Start a 14-day trial without a card.
