Extend visibility wherever your business demands

Keeping up with the speed of business requires the right tools and tech. You expect efficiency gains when moving to and from the cloud, but risks and visibility gaps happen when resources are monitored by separate tools and teams.

The results involve disconnected visibility, tool sprawl, and increased MTTR.

Integrate RabbitMQ with Logic Apps using Azure Functions

Unfortunately, no Logic App connector can make the bridge to RabbitMQ, which makes this integration challenge a little bit more complicated. However, we have the ability to create an Azure Function by using the RabbitMQ trigger for Azure Functions to overcome this limitation. The purpose of this POC is to receive a message in a RabbitMQ queue, and that event triggers an Azure Function, which fires a Logic App.

Honeycomb's Refinery is a tool that customers can use to help manage the volume of their telemetry. It's rare to have too much telemetry—it's not often that someone says "I wish I didn't have all this information!"
