get_instrumentation_help

Provides guidance for instrumenting code with OpenTelemetry traces and logs. Helps improve or create instrumentation by analyzing existing telemetry data or offering initial setup advice. Supports multiple programming languages and filepaths.

Instructions

Provides important guidance for how to instrument code with OpenTelemetry traces and logs. It is intended to be used when someone wants to instrument their code, or improve instrumentation (such as getting advice on improving their logs or tracing, or creating new instrumentation). It is BEST used after inspecting existing code and telemetry data to understand some operational characteristics. However, if there is no telemetry data to read from Honeycomb, it can still provide guidance on how to instrument code.
