What does it look like to notice & debug a problem in Honeycomb? Start with a Service Level Objective (SLO), and Honeycomb can tell you what's unusual about the events that are failing. Continue to dig into all your telemetry.

What if setting up observability in your Next.js app was as easy as running a few commands? In this quick guide, we show you how to instrument your Next.js application using OpenTelemetry and visualize with SigNoz — without all the headaches.

2025 has truly been the year of Agentic AI, with MCP (Model Context Protocol) emerging as one of its flashy and most talked-about innovations. While many products have seamlessly integrated MCP servers into their systems, these servers are increasingly being labelled as black boxes, opaque components that handle critical tasks but offer little visibility into what’s happening under the hood. We prompt an agent, a tool gets invoked, and a response is generated. But what really happens in between? And when something breaks, how do we trace the failure and debug it effectively?

Send Honeycomb JSON or sophisticated OpenTelemetry. Traces, logs, metrics. Then add a few business-specific fields (or calculate them), and answer important questions on the fly.
