Honeycomb vs Inspeqtor: What are the differences?
What is Honeycomb? Observability for a distributed world--designed for high cardinality data and collaborative problem solving ππ. We built Honeycomb to answer the hard questions that come up when you're trying to operate your softwareβto debug microservices, serverless, distributed systems, polyglot persistence, containers, and a world of fast, parallel deploys.
What is Inspeqtor? Easy application infrastructure monitoring. Inspeqtor monitors your application infrastructure. It gathers and verifies key metrics from all the moving parts in your application and alerts you when something looks wrong. It understands the application deployment workflow so it won't bother you during a deploy.
Honeycomb and Inspeqtor can be primarily classified as "Performance Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Honeycomb are:
- High-performance querying against high-cardinality or sparse events.
- Accepts any structured JSON objects with a write key.
- Submit events via API.
On the other hand, Inspeqtor provides the following key features:
- Monitor init.d-, systemd-, upstart-, runit- or launchd-managed services
- Monitor process memory and CPU usage
- Monitor daemon-specific metrics (e.g. redis, memcached, mysql, nginx...)
Inspeqtor is an open source tool with 1.63K GitHub stars and 73 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Inspeqtor's open source repository on GitHub.
