Specifications for OpenTelemetry
Many span attributes are "static", i.e. they never change for the given class of spans. Span name is one such attribute, but there are many others from semantic conventions, e.g....
## Problem Description We have database conventions like this: `db.name`, `db.statement`, etc. Here the `db` is the namespace and we have attributes that are common for all database under this...
Exponential histograms have implementations in Java, Dotnet, Go, and Python. There's still the idea of the [zero threshold](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/2665), which needs to be defined in the proto and likely needs to...
**What are you trying to achieve?** A backwards compatible way of having stacktraces in spans and logs be structured data instead of strings. This would allow backends to parse and...
**What are you trying to achieve?** Some observability use cases require localization of resources. Examples are: - Observability of mobile devices: Geographically localizing the mobile devices provides valuable insights into...
**What are you trying to achieve?** Implementing the Logs SDK and need to export logs emitted by [the language's structured logger](https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/kernel/logger_chapter.html). **Additional context.** Since exporting logs through OTLP requires a...
**What are you trying to achieve?** Currently, the `http.server.active_requests` metric only includes the `net.host.name` attribute; for some reason `net.host.port` was skipped there. Should we fix that discrepancy? **Additional context.** https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/metrics/semantic_conventions/http-metrics.md#attributes
**What are you trying to achieve?** Having implemented a mostly-complete Views implementation in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/pull/2525, I have the following feature request. Make it possible to configure Views on a per-Reader basis....
**What are you trying to achieve?** There has been some discussion about an Uptime metric. For example, the OpenTelemetry-Go `runtime` instrumentation includes one: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/blob/d1534b84593e617bff9a848454a992a7af49385c/instrumentation/runtime/runtime.go#L122 There is a related request for...
### Description Solve the technical needs required for Semantic Conventions and Instrumentation Stability, as outlined in [this proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_2JZKJaXazIWX9UcDw67Om1lm1uxsI-TiW41jaJT5XM/edit#). ### Project Board _Pending TC Approval & Sufficient staffing/momentum_ ### Deliverables At...
