Fixes # ## Changes Please provide a brief description of the changes here. Note: if the PR is touching an area that is not listed in the [existing areas](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/docs/README.md), or...
**What are you trying to achieve?** It would be really useful for observability backends to have a consistent way to link to the code that generates spans. This would allow...
**What are you trying to achieve?** Scope attributes were introduced in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#2579 with the motivations behind it described in this [OTEP](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/blob/main/text/0201-scope-attributes.md). A first motivation was to have an attribute to...
A metric attribute is used to differentiate data points along a single dimension. In some cases an attribute should be considered optional. In particular this is necessary for "usage" metrics...
Define **human readable vs storage space** guidelines for semantic conventions. This came from open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1495 regarding choosing between `availability_zone` (easier to read) and `zone` or `az` (optimizing storage space). We should...
We would like to have "How to" guides to be part of our "Contributing" documentation. The guides need to be specific, describe the process from start to the end (success...
It seems we've hit GH rate limits Should we limit link check to the files updated in the PR and avoid checking all of them?
Similar to the definition for _attribute_ requirement levels in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/common/attribute-requirement-level.md, we should also define the requirement levels for metrics. Once a definition is added, we should link to it from...
OpenMetrics provided such example: https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/blob/main/specification/OpenMetrics.md#overall-structure  The current [metrics semantic convention](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/metrics/semantic_conventions/http-metrics.md#http-server) is different (and inconsistent):  Ask: 1. Make it consistent at least for the semantic conventions that are in...
Fixes #1687 ## Changes This PR lays out the initial structure of the semantic conventions for mainframes. The PR adds the following new components to the semantic conventions: 1. **mainframe**:...
