# SlipstreamHoneycomb

![Actions CI](https://github.com/NFIBrokerage/slipstream_honeycomb/workflows/Actions%20CI/badge.svg)

An adapter between slipstream telemetry and honeycomb events

## Connection Telemetry

SlipstreamHoneycomb currently captures the only telemetry which Slipstream
emits: connection messages.

These connection messages are fairly low-level and are very quick (usually
a matter of microseconds). Below is an example screenshot of a trace in our
Honeycomb:

![example](guides/connection-example.png)

The long purple bar is the connection, which was open for ~150s in this case.
That came from the `[:slipstream, :connection, :connect, :stop]` event. The
other spans of this connection are `[:slipstream, :connection, :handle,
:stop]`. From top to bottom, we see from the example:

- the initial `handle_continue(:connect, ..`
- the gun connection coming up (`{:gun_up, conn, :http}`)
- the gun upgrade which is decoded into the `%Slipstream.Events.ChannelConnected{}`
  event
- a JoinTopic command from the client
- a `:gun_ws` message that decoded into a TopicJoinSucceeded event
- a big push of data from the remote server (decoded to MessageReceived event)

and then much later (~30s), we see:

- a SendHeartbeat command, followed by
- the HeartbeatAcknowledged

(x4). And finally, the parent process exits with a ParentProcessExited event.

## Installation
