Usage

$ honeymarker -k <your-writekey> -d <dataset> COMMAND [command-specific flags]

• <your-writekey> can be found on https://ui.honeycomb.io/account
• <dataset> is the name of one of the datasets associated with the team whose writekey you're using.
• COMMAND see below

Available commands:

Command	Description
add	add a new marker
list	list all markers
rm	delete a marker
update	update a marker

Adding markers (add)

Name	Flag	Description	Required
Start Time	-s <arg> / --start_time=<arg>	start time for the marker in unix time (seconds since the epoch)	No
End Time	-e <arg> / --end_time=<arg>	end time for the marker in unix time (seconds since the epoch)	No
Message	-m <arg> / --msg=<arg>	message describing this specific marker	No
URL	-u <arg> / --url=<arg>	URL associated with this marker	No
Type	-t <arg> / --type=<arg>	identifies marker type	No

All parameters to add are optional.

If start_time is missing, the marker will be assigned the current time.

It is highly recommended that you fill in either message or type. All markers of the same type will be shown with the same color in the UI. The message will be visible above an individual marker.

If a URL is specified along with a message, the message will be shown as a link in the UI, and clicking it will take you to the URL.

Example:

$ ./honeymarker -k $WRITE_KEY -d myservice add -t deploy -m "build 192837"
{"created_at":"2017-06-28T18:55:11Z","updated_at":"2017-06-28T18:55:11Z","start_time":1498676111,"message":"build 192837","type":"deploy","id":"n71R3zM1Tn3"}

Listing markers (list)

Name	Flag	Description	Required
JSON	--json	Output the list as json instead of in tabular form	No
Unix Timestamps	--unix_time	In table mode, format times as unit timestamps (seconds since the epoch)	No

Example:

$ ./honeymarker -k $WRITE_KEY -d myservice list
| ID          |      Start Time |        End Time | Type         | Message      | URL |
+-------------+-----------------+-----------------+--------------+--------------+-----+
| n71R3zM1Tn3 | Jun 28 11:55:11 |                 | deploy       | build 192837 |     |

Updating markers (update)

Name	Flag	Description	Required
Marker ID	-i <arg> / --id=<arg>	ID of the marker to update	Yes
Start Time	-s <arg> / --start_time=<arg>	start time for the marker in unix time (seconds since the epoch)	No
End Time	-e <arg> / --end_time=<arg>	end time for the marker in unix time (seconds since the epoch)	No
Message	-m <arg> / --msg=<arg>	message describing this specific marker	No
URL	-u <arg> / --url=<arg>	URL associated with this marker	No
Type	-t <arg> / --type=<arg>	identifies marker type	No

The marker ID is available from the list command, and is also output to the console by the add command.
