# Semantic Conventions for Hardware Metrics

**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]

This document describes instruments and attributes for common hardware level
metrics in OpenTelemetry. Consider the [general metric semantic conventions](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions)
when creating instruments not explicitly defined in the specification.

## Common hardware attributes

All metrics in `hw.` instruments should be attached to a [Host Resource](/docs/resource/host.md)
and therefore inherit its attributes, like `host.id` and `host.name`.

Additionally, all metrics in `hw.` instruments have the following attributes:

| Attribute Key | Description                                                                                                   | Example                             | Requirement Level |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| `id`          | An identifier for the hardware component, unique within the monitored host                                    | `win32battery_battery_testsysa33_1` | **Required**      |
| `name`        | An easily-recognizable name for the hardware component                                                        | `eth0`                              | Recommended       |
| `parent`      | Unique identifier of the parent component (typically the `id` attribute of the enclosure, or disk controller) | `dellStorage_perc_0`                | Recommended       |

## Metric Instruments

### `hw.` - Common hardware metrics

The below metrics apply to any type of hardware component.

| Name        | Description                                                                        | Units   | Instrument Type ([*](/docs/general/metrics.md#instrument-types)) | Value Type | Attribute Key(s)              | Attribute Values           |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `hw.energy` | Energy consumed by the component, in joules                                        | J       | Counter                                           | Int64      |                               |                            |
| `hw.errors` | Number of errors encountered by the component                                      | {error} | Counter                                           | Int64      | `hw.error.type` (Recommended) |                            |
| `hw.power`  | Instantaneous power consumed by the component, in Watts (`hw.energy` is preferred) | W       | Gauge                                             | Double     |                               |                            |
| `hw.status` | Operational status: `1` (true) or `0` (false) for each of the possible states      |         | UpDownCounter                                     | Int        | `state` (**Required**)        | `ok`, `degraded`, `failed` |

These common `hw.` metrics must include the below attributes to describe the
monitored component:

| Attribute Key | Description           | Example                                                                                                                                                                      | Requirement Level |
| ------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| `hw.type`     | Type of the component | `battery`, `cpu`, `disk_controller`, `enclosure`, `fan`, `gpu`, `logical_disk`, `memory`, `network`, `physical_disk`, `power_supply`, `tape_drive`, `temperature`, `voltage` | **Required**      |

> **Warning**
>
> `hw.status` is currently specified as an *UpDownCounter* but would ideally be represented using a [*StateSet* as defined in OpenMetrics](https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/blob/main/specification/OpenMetrics.md#stateset). This semantic convention will be updated once *StateSet* is specified in OpenTelemetry. This planned change is not expected to have any consequence on the way users query their timeseries backend to retrieve the values of `hw.status` over time.

### `hw.host.` - Physical host metrics

**Description:** Physical system as opposed to a virtual system or a container.
Examples: physical server, switch or disk array.

| `hw.host.energy`              | Total energy consumed by the entire physical host, in joules                                                                                          | J     | Counter                                           | Int64      |                  |                  |
| `hw.host.heating_margin`      | By how many degrees Celsius the temperature of the physical host can be increased, before reaching a warning threshold on one of the internal sensors | Cel   | Gauge                                             | Double     |                  |                  |
| `hw.host.power`               | Instantaneous power consumed by the entire physical host in Watts (`hw.host.energy` is preferred)                                                     | W     | Gauge                                             | Double     |                  |                  |

> **Note**
> The overall energy usage of a host MUST be reported using the specific
> `hw.host.energy` and `hw.host.power` metrics **only**, instead of the generic
> `hw.energy` and `hw.power` described in the previous section, to prevent
> summing up overlapping values.
