"Morgante Pell, technical lead manager for engineering at Honeycomb, said Canvas is the latest extension to a series of Honeycomb Intelligence initiatives that, for example, provide access to an AI agent that can convert natural language into queries based on the syntax Honeycomb created to query data. There is also now a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides third-party agents and coding tools with access to observability data."
"These capabilities will enable DevOps teams to both more easily interrogate terabytes of telemetry data and be alerted any time there is anomalous behavior that might adversely impact application performance and availability. Honeycomb also plans to add additional AI agents that are capable of completing tasks that run in the background later this year, he said. That will make it possible for an AI agent to, for example, autonomously observe application behavior and surface remediation suggestions that might be required, said Pell."
"The overall goal is to make observability data more accessible to not just DevOps engineers but also additional members of the IT teams that no longer need to know how to craft a Honeycomb query, noted Pell. Arguably, one of the reasons that observability platforms are not more widely employed is that many IT professionals simply lack the expertise required to create the query needed to analyze data in the first place. In effect, AI is democratizing access to observability platforms."
Canvas provides a framework to manage and orchestrate multiple AI agents that observe and query massive telemetry datasets. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server grants third-party agents and coding tools access to observability data. These capabilities allow DevOps teams to interrogate terabytes of telemetry and receive alerts on anomalous behavior that could impact application performance and availability. Planned background-capable AI agents will autonomously monitor application behavior and surface remediation suggestions. Integration of acquired codebase analysis tools from Grit will extend Honeycomb Intelligence. The goal is to make observability data accessible to non-DevOps IT staff without needing Honeycomb query expertise.
