## Metric Instruments ## HTTP Server
The following metric instruments MUST be used to describe HTTP operations. They MUST be of the specified ### Metric: `http.server.duration`
type and units.
### HTTP Server This metric is required.
Below is a table of HTTP server metric instruments. <!-- semconv metric.http.server.duration(metric_table) -->
| Name | Instrument Type | Unit (UCUM) | Description |
| -------- | --------------- | ----------- | -------------- |
| `http.server.duration` | Histogram | `ms` | Measures the duration of inbound HTTP requests. |

| `http.server.response.size` | Histogram | bytes | `By` | measures the size of HTTP response messages (compressed) | | [`http.method`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | string | HTTP request method. | `GET`; `POST`; `HEAD` | Required |
| `http.server.active_requests` | UpDownCounter | requests | `{requests}` | measures the number of concurrent HTTP requests that are currently in-flight | | [`http.route`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | string | The matched route (path template in the format used by the respective server framework). See note below [2] | `/users/:userID?`; `{controller}/{action}/{id?}` | Conditionally Required: If and only if it's available |
| [`http.scheme`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | string | The URI scheme identifying the used protocol. | `http`; `https` | Required |

| [`net.host.port`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/span-general.md) | int | Port of the local HTTP server that received the request. [4] | `8080` | Conditionally Required: [5] |
### HTTP Client **[1]:** If `net.transport` is not specified, it can be assumed to be `IP.TCP` except if `http.flavor` is `QUIC`, in which case `IP.UDP` is assumed.
Below is a table of HTTP client metric instruments. **[2]:** 'http.route' MUST NOT be populated when this is not supported by the HTTP server framework as the route attribute should have low-cardinality and the URI path can NOT substitute it.

include host identifier.
- Host identifier of the [request target](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#target.resource)
if it's sent in absolute-form.
- Host identifier of the `Host` header
SHOULD NOT be set if only IP address is available and capturing name would require a reverse DNS lookup.
**[4]:** Determined by using the first of the following that applies
- Port identifier of the [primary server host](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md#http-server-definitions) of the matched virtual host.
- Port identifier of the [request target](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#target.resource)
if it's sent in absolute-form.
- Port identifier of the `Host` header
**[5]:** If not default (`80` for `http` scheme, `443` for `https`).

## HTTP Client
### Metric: `http.client.duration`
This metric is required.
<!-- semconv metric.http.client.duration(metric_table) -->
| Name | Instrument Type | Unit (UCUM) | Description |
| -------- | --------------- | ----------- | -------------- |
| `http.client.duration` | Histogram | `ms` | Measures the duration of outbound HTTP requests. |
<!-- endsemconv -->
<!-- semconv metric.http.client.duration -->
| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [`http.flavor`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | string | Kind of HTTP protocol used. [1] | `1.0` | Recommended |
| [`http.method`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | string | HTTP request method. | `GET`; `POST`; `HEAD` | Required |
| [`http.status_code`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/http.md) | int | [HTTP response status code](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6). | `200` | Conditionally Required: If and only if one was received/sent. |
| [`net.peer.name`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/span-general.md) | string | Host identifier of the ["URI origin"](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-uri-origin) HTTP request is sent to. [2] | `example.com` | Required |
| [`net.peer.port`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/span-general.md) | int | Port identifier of the ["URI origin"](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-uri-origin) HTTP request is sent to. [3] | `80`; `8080`; `443` | Conditionally Required: [4] |
| [`net.sock.peer.addr`](../../trace/semantic_conventions/span-general.md) | string | Remote socket peer address: IPv4 or IPv6 for internet protocols, path for local communication, [etc](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/address_families.7.html). | `127.0.0.1`; `/tmp/mysql.sock` | Recommended |
**[1]:** If `net.transport` is not specified, it can be assumed to be `IP.TCP` except if `http.flavor` is `QUIC`, in which case `IP.UDP` is assumed.
**[2]:** Determined by using the first of the following that applies
- Host identifier of the [request target](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#target.resource)
if it's sent in absolute-form
- Host identifier of the `Host` header
SHOULD NOT be set if capturing it would require an extra DNS lookup.
**[3]:** When [request target](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#target.resource) is absolute URI, `net.peer.name` MUST match URI port identifier, otherwise it MUST match `Host` header port identifier.
**[4]:** If not default (`80` for `http` scheme, `443` for `https`).
