# Export traces to Honeycomb

Send Checkly traces to Honeycomb with an Ingest API key.

Before you start, read the prerequisites on the [OTLP export page](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/integrations/observability/traces/otlp) and check [what is sent](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/integrations/observability/traces/otlp#what-is-sent).
This page only covers the values Honeycomb needs.

- Get the endpoint for your Honeycomb region. US is `https://api.honeycomb.io/v1/traces` and EU is `https://api.eu1.honeycomb.io/v1/traces`.

- Get the key. In Honeycomb, select **Environments** > **Manage Environments**, open your environment, then go to **API Keys** > **Ingest** and select **Create Ingest API Key**. Copy the key.

- Paste the values into Checkly. On the [Traces settings page](https://app.checklyhq.com/settings/account/traces), turn on **Enable exporting traces**, paste the URL, and add the header from the table below.

- Find the spans. In Honeycomb, open the environment you used. The spans appear under service `checkly`.

Header name Value

`x-honeycomb-team` ` `

Only Honeycomb Classic also needs an `x-honeycomb-dataset` header row. Environment keys do not.
Honeycomb documents the endpoints in [Send data with OpenTelemetry](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/opentelemetry/).
To see failed runs, filter on the attribute `checkly.check.status` with the value `FAILED`.
The [OTLP export page](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/integrations/observability/traces/otlp) has the span schema.
