Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This issue outlines the functional pieces of the honeycomb marker exporter.

The flow of this component should specify a condition to filter out logs that do not pass this condition and create a marker for logs that do.

Describe the solution you'd like

The exporter should then call out the honeycomb API and use the Create Marker function. We will not support updating/deleting markers that already exist.

In the initial config for this exporter we supported sending Markers that specify color instead of type. Type is a more explicit way of creating initial Markers and Markers that only specify color would have to be updated with Type later on. To this end we will only support sending Markers that specify Type via the exporter. Color can be set via Marker Settings in the Honeycomb Markers API. Color cannot be set using the Create Marker function. We could need to both create and update the Marker in order to support specifying color.

We will only be sending environment wide markers using the __all__ endpoint.

DOD:

  • Only support markers that specify type; do not support markers that specify color
