        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Send arbitrary JSON events into Honeycomb datasets via single-event POST, high-throughput batch POST, and
      Kinesis-style ingest. Events are the lowest-level ingest primitive; OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs all
      land here. Each event becomes a row in a columnar dataset that you can query, trigger on, or derive SLOs from.

        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Manage datasets — the columnar tables that hold ingested events for a service — and dataset definitions that map
      well-known OpenTelemetry fields (service.name, trace.parent_id, span.kind, etc.) to the columns Honeycomb uses for
      trace assembly, BubbleUp, and Service Map rendering.

        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Inspect and manage columns inside a dataset, including custom hidden columns and calculated (derived) columns.
      Calculated fields use Honeycomb's expression language to compute new dimensions from existing event attributes —
      used heavily for normalizing high-cardinality data and building reusable business-level metrics.

      - url: openapi/honeycomb-queries-api-openapi.yml
        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Construct, save, and execute queries against the Honeycomb columnar store. Define breakdowns, calculations,
      filters, orders, and havings; persist a query as a reusable specification; trigger async execution via Query Data
      and poll for results. Query Annotations let you decorate saved queries with human-readable context. The Query Data
      API is the foundation for AI-assisted observability and Honeycomb MCP.

        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Manage Boards — Honeycomb's dashboard primitive — and the multi-dataset Views composed on top of them. Boards pin
      queries, SLO panels, and text panels into a single shareable surface for incident response, weekly reviews, and
      team-owned operational dashboards.

    description: >-
      Define thresholded alerts on top of saved queries — Triggers — and route their firings to Recipients (PagerDuty,
      Slack, MS Teams, webhooks, email, OpsGenie). Trigger frequency, thresholds, and evaluation schedule are fully
      configurable per dataset.

        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Define Service Level Objectives backed by a derived-column SLI, attach Burn Alerts that fire when error-budget
      burn rate crosses a configured threshold, and pull historical SLO compliance through the Reporting endpoint. SLO
      Reporting is an Enterprise-tier surface used to feed reliability dashboards and quarterly review packs.

        type: OpenAPI
    description: >-
      Annotate the Honeycomb timeline with Markers representing deploys, feature flag changes, incidents, or arbitrary
      externally meaningful events. Marker Settings define per-type appearance (colour, label) so deploy-vs-incident
      annotations render distinctly on every graph.
