OpenTelemetry 转换到非 otlp 格式

Status: Stable

All OpenTelemetry concepts and data recorded using OpenTelemetry API can be directly and precisely represented using corresponding messages and fields of OTLP format. However, for other formats this is not always the case. Sometimes a format will not have a native way to represent a particular OpenTelemetry concept or a field of a concept.

This document defines the transformation between OpenTelemetry and formats other than OTLP, for OpenTelemetry fields and concepts that have no direct semantic equivalent in those other formats.

Note: when a format has a direct semantic equivalent for a particular field or concept then the recommendation in this document MUST be ignored.

See also additional specific transformation rules for Jaeger and Zipkin. The specific rules for Jaeger and Zipkin take precedence over the generic rules defined in this document.

Mappings

InstrumentationScope

OpenTelemetry InstrumentationScope's fields MUST be reported as key-value pairs associated with the Span, Metric Data Point or LogRecord using the following mapping:

Attribute Type Description Examples Requirement Level
otel.scope.name string The name of the instrumentation scope - (InstrumentationScope.Name in OTLP). io.opentelemetry.contrib.mongodb Recommended
otel.scope.version string The version of the instrumentation scope - (InstrumentationScope.Version in OTLP). 1.0.0 Recommended

The following deprecated aliases MUST also be reported with exact same values for backward compatibility reasons:

Attribute Type Description Examples Requirement Level
otel.library.name string Deprecated, use the otel.scope.name attribute. io.opentelemetry.contrib.mongodb Recommended
otel.library.version string Deprecated, use the otel.scope.version attribute. 1.0.0 Recommended

Span Status

Span Status MUST be reported as key-value pairs associated with the Span, unless the Status is UNSET. In the latter case it MUST NOT be reported.

The following table defines the OpenTelemetry Status's mapping to Span's key-value pairs:

Attribute Type Description Examples Requirement Level
otel.status_code string Name of the code, either "OK" or "ERROR". MUST NOT be set if the status code is UNSET. OK Recommended
otel.status_description string Description of the Status if it has a value, otherwise not set. resource not found Recommended

otel.status_code MUST be one of the following:

Value Description
OK The operation has been validated by an Application developer or Operator to have completed successfully.
ERROR The operation contains an error.

Dropped Attributes Count

OpenTelemetry dropped attributes count MUST be reported as a key-value pair associated with the corresponding data entity (e.g. Span, Span Link, Span Event, Metric data point, LogRecord, etc). The key name MUST be otel.dropped_attributes_count.

This key-value pair should only be recorded when it contains a non-zero value.

Dropped Events Count

OpenTelemetry Span's dropped events count MUST be reported as a key-value pair associated with the Span. The key name MUST be otel.dropped_events_count.

This key-value pair should only be recorded when it contains a non-zero value.

OpenTelemetry Span's dropped links count MUST be reported as a key-value pair associated with the Span. The key name MUST be otel.dropped_links_count.

This key-value pair should only be recorded when it contains a non-zero value.

Instrumentation Scope Attributes

Exporters to formats that don't have a concept that is equivalent to the Scope SHOULD record the attributes at the most suitable place in their corresponding format, typically at the Span, Metric or LogRecord equivalent.
