Honeycomb Triggers API

The Honeycomb Triggers API allows developers to programmatically configure alerting rules that fire when query results meet specified conditions. Triggers work in conjunction with the Recipients API, which manages notification destinations including PagerDuty, Email, Webhook, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. The API supports listing, creating, updating, and deleting triggers, enabling automated setup of alerting workflows for production observability.
