## OTel Attributes

Attributes reserved for OpenTelemetry

| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <a id="otel-span-parent-origin" href="#otel-span-parent-origin">`otel.span.parent.origin`</a> | string | Determines whether the span has a parent span, and if so, [whether it is a remote parent](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/trace/api/#isremote) | `none`; `local`; `remote` | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| <a id="otel-span-sampling-result" href="#otel-span-sampling-result">`otel.span.sampling_result`</a> | string | The result value of the sampler for this span | `DROP`; `RECORD_ONLY`; `RECORD_AND_SAMPLE` | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| <a id="otel-status-code" href="#otel-status-code">`otel.status_code`</a> | string | Name of the code, either "OK" or "ERROR". MUST NOT be set if the status code is UNSET. | `OK`; `ERROR` | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) |
| <a id="otel-status-description" href="#otel-status-description">`otel.status_description`</a> | string | Description of the Status if it has a value, otherwise not set. | `resource not found` | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) |

`otel.span.parent.origin` has the following list of well-known values. If one of them applies, then the respective value MUST be used; otherwise, a custom value MAY be used.

| Value  | Description | Stability |
|---|---|---|
| `local` | The span has a parent and the parent's span context [isRemote()](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/trace/api/#isremote) is false | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| `none` | The span does not have a parent, it is a root span | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| `remote` | The span has a parent and the parent's span context [isRemote()](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/trace/api/#isremote) is true | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |

`otel.span.sampling_result` has the following list of well-known values. If one of them applies, then the respective value MUST be used; otherwise, a custom value MAY be used.

| Value  | Description | Stability |
|---|---|---|
| `DROP` | The span is not sampled and not recording | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| `RECORD_AND_SAMPLE` | The span is sampled and recording | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| `RECORD_ONLY` | The span is not sampled, but recording | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |

---

`otel.status_code` has the following list of well-known values. If one of them applies, then the respective value MUST be used; otherwise, a custom value MAY be used.

| Value  | Description | Stability |
|---|---|---|
| `ERROR` | The operation contains an error. | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) |
| `OK` | The operation has been validated by an Application developer or Operator to have completed successfully. | ![Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/-stable-lightgreen) |

## OTel Component Attributes

Attributes used for OpenTelemetry component self-monitoring

| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <a id="otel-component-name" href="#otel-component-name">`otel.component.name`</a> | string | A name uniquely identifying the instance of the OpenTelemetry component within its containing SDK instance. [1] | `otlp_grpc_span_exporter/0`; `custom-name` | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |
| <a id="otel-component-type" href="#otel-component-type">`otel.component.type`</a> | string | A name identifying the type of the OpenTelemetry component. [2] | `batching_span_processor`; `com.example.MySpanExporter` | ![Development](https://img.shields.io/badge/-development-blue) |

**[1] `otel.component.name`:** Implementations SHOULD ensure a low cardinality for this attribute, even across application or SDK restarts.
E.g. implementations MUST NOT use UUIDs as values for this attribute.

Implementations MAY achieve these goals by following a `<otel.component.type>/<instance-counter>` pattern, e.g. `batching_span_processor/0`.
Hereby `otel.component.type` refers to the corresponding attribute value of the component.

The value of `instance-counter` MAY be automatically assigned by the component and uniqueness within the enclosing SDK instance MUST be guaranteed.
For example, `<instance-counter>` MAY be implemented by using a monotonically increasing counter (starting with `0`), which is incremented every time an
instance of the given component type is started.

With this implementation, for example the first Batching Span Processor would have `batching_span_processor/0`
as `otel.component.name`, the second one `batching_span_processor/1` and so on.
These values will therefore be reused in the case of an application restart.

**[2] `otel.component.type`:** If none of the standardized values apply, implementations SHOULD use the language-defined name of the type.
E.g. for Java the fully qualified classname SHOULD be used in this case.
