  1. Using the UI
    To add a destination via the UI, follow these steps:
    • Use the Odigos CLI to access the UI: Odigos UI
    odigos ui

  • In the left sidebar, navigate to the Destination page.

  • Click Add New Destination

  • Select Honeycomb and follow the on-screen instructions.

  1. Using kubernetes manifests
