The left sidebar shows various settings categories including Profile, Accounts, Authentication, and others, with "Local Editor" currently selected. The main panel shows settings for user@example.com, explaining that providing local editor details enables special links in backtraces that open files at specific lines. The "Default editor" field shows "Cursor" with a dropdown menu open displaying multiple editor options including Atom, BBEdit, Visual Studio Code, and others, with "Zed" currently checked. Below are fields for "Project" (showing "Monolith") and "Absolute Local Path" with a placeholder example. A note indicates that Sublime and Visual Studio Code require installing an app.

In Honeybadger, everything is an event. Application errors, logs, telemetry data? All events. While we provide simple APM-style (Application Performance Monitoring) views on top of these events, we also give you direct access through our advanced query engine in Honeybadger Insights. 2/

Six performance metric graphs for a web application: "API requests" shows stable request counts, "API response time" fluctuates with spikes, "Ingest throughput" varies with an upward trend, "Ingest performance" has peaks under 0.4 seconds, "Notifications throughput" demonstrates volatility, and "Notifications performance" maintains a steady average time around 0.18 seconds, all over 15-minute intervals. Options to edit queries suggest customizable monitoring.

New feature! Introducing Insights Alarms:

Alarms bridge the gap between data and action, transforming application events into actionable alerts that notify your team. Just write a query, set a threshold, and stay ahead of issues before they impact users. 1/🧵

Today, we’re building on this foundation with a new feature called Insights Alarms. Alarms allow you to combine a query (“count all slow requests in the past five minutes”) with a threshold (”when count is > 2”) and trigger alerts when the query result exceeds the threshold. 5/

A monitoring dashboard titled "Slow requests" showing system performance over time. The status shows "ok" with "Checked 5 min ago - Next in < 1 min". The time range displays "1h" to "now" in PST timezone. The line graph shows no slow requests from 08:20 to 08:55, then a sharp increase at 09:00 to 1, peaking at 09:05 with a value of 3 (marked by a red dashed threshold line), then decreasing to 2 by 09:10. The timeline at the bottom shows mostly green status with a red segment around 09:05, indicating a brief period of performance issues.
