1. Create a Configuration Key
Resolve requires a Configuration Key to connect to your Honeycomb environment. Classic Ingest Keys will not work.- Log in to your Honeycomb account at https://ui.honeycomb.io
- From the left menu, click on your environment, then select Manage Environments
- Select the environment you want to connect
- Under API Keys, select the Configuration tab
- Click Create Configuration Key
- Give it a descriptive name (for example,
resolve-integration) - Copy the generated key and save it securely
Only the key secret is needed — the
key_id is not required.
Each Configuration Key is scoped to a single Honeycomb environment. To monitor multiple environments, create a separate connection in Resolve for each one.2. Connect Honeycomb in Resolve
- Open the Honeycomb Integration page in Resolve
- Click Add Connection
- Enter a Connection Name (for example,
honeycomb-production) - Enter the Base URL (default:
https://api.honeycomb.io) - Paste the API Key (Configuration Key) from Step 1
- (Optional) Expand Advanced to configure additional settings:
- Environments — Leave blank to enable for all Resolve environments, or specify which ones this connection applies to
- Service Map — Toggle on to import the Honeycomb dependency graph as a service map in the Knowledge Graph
- Max Dependencies — Maximum number of dependency edges to import (range: 1–64,000, default: 10,000)
- Click Save
