Sending events

Honeybadger’s Go package can be used to send events to Honeybadger Insights.

Sending events

Use honeybadger.Event() to send custom events:

honeybadger.Event("user_login", map[string]any{
    "user_id": 123,
    "email": "user@example.com",
})

The first argument is the event type, and the second is a map of event data.

Events are batched and sent asynchronously for optimal performance.

Configuration

You can configure batching, retries, and throttling behavior. See Configuration for details on the following options:

Option	Default	Description
EventsBatchSize	1000	Maximum events per batch
EventsTimeout	30 seconds	Request timeout
EventsMaxQueueSize	100000	Maximum events to queue
EventsMaxRetries	3	Maximum retry attempts
EventsThrottleWait	60 seconds	Wait time before retrying
