libhoney

Go library for sending events to Honeycomb. (For more information, see the documentation and Go SDK guide.)

Installation:

go get -v github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-go

Documentation

A godoc API reference is available at https://godoc.org/github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-go

Example

Honeycomb can calculate all sorts of statistics, so send the values you care about and let us crunch the averages, percentiles, lower/upper bounds, cardinality -- whatever you want -- for you.

import "github.com/honeycombio/libhoney-go"

// Call Init to configure libhoney
libhoney.Init(libhoney.Config{
  WriteKey: "YOUR_WRITE_KEY",
  Dataset: "honeycomb-golang-example",
})
defer libhoney.Close() // Flush any pending calls to Honeycomb

libhoney.SendNow(map[string]interface{}{
  "duration_ms": 153.12,
  "method": "get",
  "hostname": "appserver15",
  "payload_length": 27,
})

See the examples directory for sample code demonstrating how to use events, builders, fields, and dynamic fields.
