Honeycomb Unveils New AI Observability Features to Close the Gap Between Shipping Agents and Understanding Them
Blog post from Honeycomb
Honeycomb announced AI Ecosystem, an early-access observability capability for monitoring fleets of production AI agents across performance, failure rates, token use, latency, costs, and individual conversations. Built on Honeycomb’s high-cardinality data model, the feature is intended to help engineering teams identify degraded agents, distinguish regressions from normal variation, assess customer impact, and investigate specific problematic interactions; general availability is expected by the end of 2026 or early 2027. The company also expanded its collaborative Canvas investigation workspace with MCP connectors for tools including GitHub, Linear, Pylon, incident.io, Atlassian, Braintrust, Sentry, Amplitude, and Checkly, allowing teams to combine telemetry with code, tickets, design context, and team discussions during incident response.
