Application Observability resource attributes
OpenTelemetry resource attributes are added to log, span, and metrics emitted by your application.
These service resource attributes allow you to filter your metrics and traces effectively:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
service.namespace | An optional namespace for service.name |
service.name | The application name |
deployment.environment | Name of the deployment environment (staging or production ) |
service.instance.id | The unique instance, e.g. the pod name |
service.version | The application version, to see if a new version has introduced a bug |
OpenTelemetry logs and metrics are stored in Loki and Prometheus respectively.
Both Loki and Prometheus use job
and instance
labels according the OpenTelemetry compatibility specification with Prometheus and OpenMetrics:
Label | Filled with attribute (if it is found) |
---|---|
job | ${service.namespace}/${service.name} (if service.namespace is defined) or service.namespace |
instance | service.instance.id |
