SUMMARIZATION

Honeycomb Latency Regression to Linear Triage Tickets

On a daily run, detects services whose p95 latency regressed beyond a threshold versus the prior week in Honeycomb, summarizes the likely cause with OpenAI.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionSummarize likely cause and affected operationsOpenAI
  • OutputOpen triage ticket in LinearLinearLinear

What it does

Compares each service's p95 latency over the last 24 hours against its prior-week baseline pulled from Honeycomb. When a service crosses the regression threshold, it writes an investigation-ready summary and files a Linear ticket. Services within normal variance are skipped, so the backlog stays signal-only.

When to use it

Use it when latency creep slips through code review and you want regressions to become tracked work automatically instead of relying on someone noticing a slow dashboard line.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Honeycomb returns per-service p95 latency for the last day plus the prior-week baseline.
  3. 3A logic step keeps only services whose regression exceeds the configured percentage threshold.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a concise summary: which service, how much it slowed, and candidate operations driving the change.
  5. 5A Linear ticket is created in the triage project with the summary and a link back to the Honeycomb query.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HoneycombDistributed traces and queries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
