Honeybadger vs MISP: at a glance
What is Honeybadger?
Honeybadger adds Turbopack support and 48 BadgerQL functions in a quiet integrations run.
Honeybadger is an error tracker that has grown into Insights, with dashboards built from BadgerQL widgets. Since September it has added 48 BadgerQL functions and grouped-chart fill, widget duplication, bearer tokens on webhooks, GitHub issue fields, self-hosted Zulip alerts and, with @honeybadger-io/nextjs 6, Turbopack support with readable stack traces.
What is MISP?
MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.
MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.

Honeybadger
5.0INFRA · APIS
Honeybadger adds Turbopack support and 48 BadgerQL functions in a quiet integrations run.
◆ Current state
Honeybadger is an error tracker that has grown into Insights, with dashboards built from BadgerQL widgets. Since September it has added 48 BadgerQL functions and grouped-chart fill, widget duplication, bearer tokens on webhooks, GitHub issue fields, self-hosted Zulip alerts and, with @honeybadger-io/nextjs 6, Turbopack support with readable stack traces.
◆ Where it's heading
After July's AI features, the work has shifted to integrations and query depth. Bearer tokens let webhooks reach platforms such as Cursor Automations, so errors can start agent runs, while GitHub fields and Zulip fit Honeybadger into existing team workflows. BadgerQL additions keep Insights moving toward an APM-style surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect further integration updates and BadgerQL additions at about one entry a week. Whether agent-facing work extends beyond webhooks is unclear from the entries.

MISP 2.5.50 deletes legacy discussions, templates and allowedlists as security fixes keep coming.
◆ Current state
MISP is deep in a security-remediation cycle: 2.5.46, 2.5.47, 2.5.48 and now 2.5.50 each ship externally reported fixes, and 2.4.221 backported 57 of them to the EOL branch. 2.5.47 added PostgreSQL support and a first AI-assisted analysis integration. 2.5.50 moves Redis host settings to CLI-only and closes event-index and object-search information leaks. It also starts deleting legacy features outright.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is shifting from adding hardening patches to shrinking its attack surface. In 2.5.50, event discussions become analyst notes, legacy templates become event templates, and signature allowedlists become warninglists, with migrations and logged failures. Combined with the Overmind UI migration and the database abstraction, this looks like a deliberate cleanup of the 2.5 codebase.
◆ Prediction
Expect further legacy features to be migrated and removed in the next releases, alongside more advisories from the ongoing review. Admins with workflows on the removed discussion trigger will need to adapt.
