## Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Attributes

This document defines attributes for remote procedure calls.

| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <a id="rpc-connect-rpc-error-code" href="#rpc-connect-rpc-error-code">`rpc.connect_rpc.error_code`</a> | string | The [error codes](https://connect.build/docs/protocol/#error-codes) of the Connect request. Error codes are always string values. | `cancelled`; `unknown`; `invalid_argument` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
| <a id="rpc-connect-rpc-request-metadata" href="#rpc-connect-rpc-request-metadata">`rpc.connect_rpc.request.metadata.<key>`</a> | string[] | Connect request metadata, `<key>` being the normalized Connect Metadata key (lowercase), the value being the metadata values. [1] | `rpc.request.metadata.my-custom-metadata-attribute=["1.2.3.4", "1.2.3.5"]` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
| <a id="rpc-connect-rpc-response-metadata" href="#rpc-connect-rpc-response-metadata">`rpc.connect_rpc.response.metadata.<key>`</a> | string[] | Connect response metadata, `<key>` being the normalized Connect Metadata key (lowercase), the value being the metadata values. [2] | `rpc.response.metadata.my-custom-metadata-attribute=["attribute_value"]` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
| <a id="rpc-grpc-request-metadata" href="#rpc-grpc-request-metadata">`rpc.grpc.request.metadata.<key>`</a> | string[] | gRPC request metadata, `<key>` being the normalized gRPC Metadata key (lowercase), the value being the metadata values.

| <a id="rpc-jsonrpc-request-id" href="#rpc-jsonrpc-request-id">`rpc.jsonrpc.request_id`</a> | string | `id` property of request or response. Since protocol allows id to be int, string, `null` or missing (for notifications), value is expected to be cast to string for simplicity. Use empty string in case of `null` value.

| <a id="rpc-jsonrpc-version" href="#rpc-jsonrpc-version">`rpc.jsonrpc.version`</a> | string | Protocol version as in `jsonrpc` property of request/response.

| <a id="rpc-method" href="#rpc-method">`rpc.method`</a> | string | The name of the (logical) method being called, must be equal to the $method part in the span name. [6] | `exampleMethod` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
| <a id="rpc-service" href="#rpc-service">`rpc.service`</a> | string | The full (logical) name of the service being called, including its package name, if applicable. [7] | `myservice.EchoService` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
| <a id="rpc-system" href="#rpc-system">`rpc.system`</a> | string | A string identifying the remoting system. See below for a list of well-known identifiers. | `grpc`; `java_rmi`; `dotnet_wcf` | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |

**[1] `rpc.connect_rpc.request.metadata`:** Instrumentations SHOULD require an explicit configuration of which metadata values are to be captured. Including all request metadata values can be a security risk - explicit configuration helps avoid leaking sensitive information.

**[2] `rpc.connect_rpc.response.metadata`:** Instrumentations SHOULD require an explicit configuration of which metadata values are to be captured. Including all response metadata values can be a security risk - explicit configuration helps avoid leaking sensitive information.

**[3] `rpc.grpc.request.metadata`:** Instrumentations SHOULD require an explicit configuration of which metadata values are to be captured. Including all request metadata values can be a security risk - explicit configuration helps avoid leaking sensitive information.

**[4] `rpc.grpc.response.metadata`:** Instrumentations SHOULD require an explicit configuration of which metadata values are to be captured. Including all response metadata values can be a security risk - explicit configuration helps avoid leaking sensitive information.

**[5] `rpc.message.id`:** This way we guarantee that the values will be consistent between different implementations.

**[6] `rpc.method`:** This is the logical name of the method from the RPC interface perspective, which can be different from the name of any implementing method/function. The `code.function.name` attribute may be used to store the latter (e.g., method actually executing the call on the server side, RPC client stub method on the client side).

**[7] `rpc.service`:** This is the logical name of the service from the RPC interface perspective, which can be different from the name of any implementing class. The `code.namespace` attribute may be used to store the latter (despite the attribute name, it may include a class name; e.g., class with method actually executing the call on the server side, RPC client stub class on the client side).
