Intro to o11y Topic 9: Filtering for Root Spans in Honeycomb

Description:

In this video, Developer Advocate Jessica Kerr explores an important subtlety of Honeycomb queries: filtering for root spans. The latency heatmap shows the filter of every request, not every event sent to Honeycomb.

Note: This video assumes you have already connected your app to Honeycomb. Jessica Kerr is using a sample app called Sequence of Numbers. If you would like to download the app and follow along, you can do so using the process from Intro to o11y Topic 3. If you need help connecting your app to Honeycomb, see Intro to o11y Topic 4.
