This declares the keys below in your catalog and sets none of them. A template is a schema for keys; it never carries a value.

Key Needed Kind Notes
HONEYCOMB_API_KEY required secret Honeycomb shows an ingest key only once and says never to commit it. Its allowance for exposing one is written for browser telemetry, so a server key is treated as secret here.. where to get it
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT required config An address. These are OpenTelemetry's names, which is what Honeycomb documents rather than names of its own.. where to get it
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS required secret Carries the key as x-honeycomb-team, so it is as sensitive as the key.. where to get it
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME optional config What your service is called in Honeycomb.. where to get it
