Quickstart
Get started with tracing sessions with HoneyHive
With HoneyHive, we allow users to track:
- Model inference calls as
model
events - External API calls (like retrieval) as
tool
events - Groups of inference & external API calls as
chain
events - An entire trace of requests as a
session
Logging a Trace
We use OpenTelemetry to automatically instrument your AI application.
You can find the full list of supported packages here.
Prerequisites
- You have already created a project in HoneyHive, as explained here.
- You have an API key for your project, as explained here.
Expected Time: 5 minutes
Steps
Installation
To install our SDKs, run the following commands in the shell.
Authenticate the SDK & initialize the tracer
To initialize the tracer, we require 3 key details:
- Your HoneyHive API Key
- Name of the project to log the trace to
- Name for this session - like “Chatbot Session” or “Customer RAG Session”.
Structure your traces using function decorators
The above initialization will auto-capture all interactions with our supported providers.
To further trace other execution steps, we provide an optional function decorator. It helps with tracing specific steps that aren’t included automatically.
View the trace
Now that you have successfully traced your session, you can review it in the platform.
- Navigate to the project in the platform via the projects page or the dropdown in the Header.
- Follow these steps after
