#2703 define guidance for rpc protocol vs framework

Open thompson-tomo opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Progresses #2703

Changes

This seeks to adopt system specific naming for the rpc namespace by first defining the replacement attributes (rpc.protocol.name & rpc.framework.name) as well as what the requirements are to be considered a well known value for that attribute.

The usage of these attributes would be as follows:

  • rpc.protocol.name: required
  • rpc.framework.name: recommend when a framework is being used

Note: if the PR is touching an area that is not listed in the existing areas, or the area does not have sufficient domain experts coverage, the PR might be tagged as experts needed and move slowly until experts are identified.

Merge requirement checklist

  • [x] CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines followed.
  • [ ] Change log entry added, according to the guidelines in When to add a changelog entry.
    • If your PR does not need a change log, start the PR title with [chore]
  • [ ] Links to the prototypes or existing instrumentations (when adding or changing conventions)
