Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Honeybadger integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Honeybadger calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Honeybadger data, across all 7 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Honeybadger access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Honeybadger, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Honeybadger is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Honeybadger.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Honeybadger action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Honeybadger, and when to use it.

Report check in
Use this when monitoring scheduled tasks or cron jobs to signal they are running on time and prevent missed heartbeat alerts.
Report deployment
Use this after a successful code release to notify Honeybadger of the new version for better error correlation.
Report event
Send custom telemetry or structured data to Honeybadger Insights to track business logic events.
Report exception
Send detailed error notices including stack traces and context for diagnostics when a process fails.
Upload file to S3
Upload a local file to a managed S3 bucket to prepare assets for source map processing.
Upload source map
Upload JavaScript source maps after deploying assets to enable error de minification in the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Honeybadger API key provided in your account settings to authenticate all requests. You enter this key into the Ceven connection panel, and we store it using AES 256 encryption at rest. Every request sent by an agent includes this key in the authorization header. Because Honeybadger uses a straightforward API key model rather than OAuth, you have full control over the key. If you suspect a leak or want to rotate your credentials, you can regenerate the key in your Honeybadger dashboard and update it in Ceven. The agent will immediately begin using the new key for all subsequent exception reports and deployment notifications.
Yes. You can build a workflow that reads the Honeybadger exception stream and applies custom logic before triggering a downstream action. For example, you can instruct the agent to ignore errors from a specific environment or those containing a certain string in the message. This prevents your Slack channels from becoming noisy with known issues. The agent looks at the exception metadata and only proceeds if the error meets your specific criteria. This allows you to create a fine grained filter that is more flexible than the native Honeybadger ignore rules, as you can use AI to determine if an error is truly actionable or just noise.
Honeybadger employs rate limiting to ensure platform stability, and Ceven is designed to handle these limits gracefully. If the agent receives a 429 Too Many Requests response, it implements an exponential backoff strategy. It will wait for a short period before retrying the request, increasing the delay with each subsequent attempt. For high volume event reporting, we recommend batching your data or using the Insights tool strategically. If your workflow consistently hits these limits, you may need to upgrade your Honeybadger plan to a higher tier that allows for more frequent API calls and a larger volume of monthly exceptions.
The agent automates the two step process required for JS de minification. First, it uses the upload file to S3 action to push your local map files to the managed storage area. Once the upload is confirmed, it triggers the upload source map action to tell Honeybadger exactly which version of the code those maps belong to. This ensures that when an error occurs in production, the stack trace you see in the Honeybadger dashboard is mapped back to your original source code. This removes the need for developers to manually run CLI tools after every single deployment to the production server.
Absolutely. Ceven uses the report check in action to act as a heartbeat monitor. You can set up a workflow that triggers on a schedule and pings Honeybadger to signal that a task has completed successfully. If Honeybadger does not receive this ping within your configured window, it marks the check in as missed. Ceven can then be triggered by a Honeybadger webhook to alert the on call engineer via PagerDuty or SMS. This creates a reliable safety net for background workers and database cleanup scripts that do not have a user interface to report failures.
Yes, the agent can send structured NDJSON data to Honeybadger Insights using the report event action. This is useful for tracking non error events, such as how many times a specific heavy report is generated or how often a user hits a specific API endpoint. By routing this data through Ceven, you can enrich the telemetry with data from other SaaS tools before it ever reaches Honeybadger. For instance, the agent can pull the customer plan level from Stripe and attach it to the Honeybadger event, giving you a clear view of which customer segments are experiencing performance bottlenecks in real time.
Honeybadger allows for a significant amount of custom context, but there are payload size limits on the API requests. Ceven automatically manages the formatting of your exception reports to ensure they remain within these bounds. If you attempt to send a massive object as context, the agent will truncate the data or summarize it using the LLM to ensure the most critical diagnostic information is preserved without triggering a request size error. This ensures that your error reports always land in the dashboard, even when the application state at the time of the crash is unusually large or complex.
While Ceven cannot install the Honeybadger SDK into your codebase, it can automate the operational side of the setup. The agent can create the necessary deployment markers, configure the initial check in pings for your existing cron jobs, and handle the upload of your first set of source maps. By using the agent to coordinate these tasks, you avoid the manual overhead of configuring each monitor one by one in the web UI. Once the SDK is in your code and sending data, Ceven takes over the lifecycle management of those errors, from initial report to final resolution and ticket closure.
