Introducing Honeycomb Metrics

Honeycomb Metrics is a new product feature that lets you send metrics data to Honeycomb. This session is a deep-dive into how Honeycomb metrics work, how and when to use them, and what is supported as of today's open beta release. By attending this talk, you'll learn about how and when metrics can be a useful addition to your trace data, how to instrument a system for metrics using the otel-collector, how to retrieve and visualize that data within the Honeycomb UI, and other ways to use metrics with the OpenTelemetry SDK.
