Identify auto-collected metrics (no tracing overlap)

Open dingsdax opened this issue 1 week ago • 2 comments

We want to define a set of lightweight metrics that SDKs can automatically collect for e.g. framework, language or platform, focusing only on signals that do NOT overlap with Tracing. Ideally these metrics should give a quick sense of app or runtime health, … while deeper investigation will still rely on traces or profiles.

Examples**:**

  • Node.js runtime metrics (e.g., event loop delay, heap usage)
  • Prisma-related metrics in Next.js
  • Mobile CPU / memory usage to help surface potential ANRs or app hangs

Candidate Metrics (add more below)

(please also add ideas, questions or examples in comments)
