SDK access required
Node.js and browser packages are not on public npm yet. Contact us for access before following the installation steps. Check the SDK reference for your runtime and review what the SDK sends.
Configure the OTLP exporter for Honeycomb
Configure an application metrics provider and a write-enabled Honeycomb key. This example uses the US endpoint. Check Honeycomb’s metrics setup for your region and account; keep the key in server-side secrets.

Use the OpenTelemetry recipe with your initialized metrics provider. The current Honeycomb metrics experience routes data to its managed Metrics dataset; a custom dataset header is not required.
