name: workleap-telemetry description: | Guide for @workleap/telemetry — Workleap's unified telemetry package connecting Honeycomb (tracing), LogRocket (session replay), and Mixpanel (analytics) with automatic correlation IDs.

Use when initializing @workleap/telemetry, instrumenting Honeycomb traces/spans, configuring LogRocket replay or privacy, tracking Mixpanel events, setting up Noop clients for Storybook/tests, or troubleshooting telemetry correlation. Also activate when someone mentions observability, session replay, or analytics in a Workleap frontend context. metadata: version: 3.3

Workleap Telemetry (wl-telemetry)

@workleap/telemetry is an umbrella package that integrates Honeycomb, LogRocket, and Mixpanel with consistent correlation IDs for unified debugging and analysis.

Platform Roles

• Honeycomb: Distributed tracing and performance monitoring (LCP, CLS, INP)
• LogRocket: Session replay and frontend debugging
• Mixpanel: Product analytics and event tracking

Quick Start

import { initializeTelemetry, TelemetryProvider } from "@workleap/telemetry/react";

const telemetryClient = initializeTelemetry("wlp", {
  logRocket: { appId: "your-app-id" },
  honeycomb: {
    namespace: "your-namespace",
    serviceName: "your-service",
    apiServiceUrls: [/.+/g],
    options: { proxy: "https://your-otel-proxy" }
  },
  mixpanel: {
    envOrTrackingApiBaseUrl: "production"
  }
});

<TelemetryProvider client={telemetryClient}>
  <App />
</TelemetryProvider>

Critical Rules

1. Use the umbrella package — Import from @workleap/telemetry, not standalone packages like @workleap/honeycomb directly. Standalone packages bypass the automatic correlation ID propagation that ties all three platforms together.
2. Do not invent APIs — Only use APIs documented in the references. The model may hallucinate plausible-looking methods that don't exist.
3. Let correlation happen automatically — Never manually set Telemetry Id or Device Id, and never create your own TelemetryContext instances. The SDK manages the lifecycle and cross-tool propagation; manual overrides break the correlation chain.
4. Use Noop clients outside production — Use NoopTelemetryClient in Storybook and tests to avoid sending real telemetry data and to prevent initialization errors in non-browser environments.
5. Protect user privacy — Never log PII to LogRocket. Session replays are shared across teams and may be reviewed broadly; use data-public/data-private HTML attributes to control what gets recorded.
6. productFamily is required — initializeTelemetry requires "wlp" (Workleap Platform) or "sg" (ShareGate) as the first argument. This determines platform-specific defaults and routing.
