brief: 'This document defines semantic convention attributes in the HTTP namespace.'
attributes:
- id: request.body.size
type: int
brief: >
The size of the request payload body in bytes. This is the number of bytes transferred excluding headers and
is often, but not always, present as the [Content-Length](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#field.content-length)
header. For requests using transport encoding, this should be the compressed size.
examples: 3495
stability: experimental # this should not be marked stable with other HTTP attributes
- id: request.header
stability: stable
type: template[string[]]
brief: >
HTTP request headers, `<key>` being the normalized HTTP Header name (lowercase), the value being the header values.
note: >
Instrumentations SHOULD require an explicit configuration of which headers are to be captured.
Including all request headers can be a security risk - explicit configuration helps avoid leaking sensitive information.
The `User-Agent` header is already captured in the `user_agent.original` attribute.
Users MAY explicitly configure instrumentations to capture them even though it is not recommended.
The attribute value MUST consist of either multiple header values as an array of strings
or a single-item array containing a possibly comma-concatenated string, depending on the way
the HTTP library provides access to headers.
examples: ['http.request.header.content-type=["application/json"]', 'http.request.header.x-forwarded-for=["1.2.3.4", "1.2.3.5"]']

note: |
HTTP request method value SHOULD be "known" to the instrumentation.
By default, this convention defines "known" methods as the ones listed in [RFC9110](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-methods)
and the PATCH method defined in [RFC5789](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5789.html).
If the HTTP request method is not known to instrumentation, it MUST set the `http.request.method` attribute to `_OTHER`.
If the HTTP instrumentation could end up converting valid HTTP request methods to `_OTHER`, then it MUST provide a way to override
the list of known HTTP methods. If this override is done via environment variable, then the environment variable MUST be named
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_KNOWN_METHODS and support a comma-separated list of case-sensitive known HTTP methods
(this list MUST be a full override of the default known method, it is not a list of known methods in addition to the defaults).
HTTP method names are case-sensitive and `http.request.method` attribute value MUST match a known HTTP method name exactly.
Instrumentations for specific web frameworks that consider HTTP methods to be case insensitive, SHOULD populate a canonical equivalent.
Tracing instrumentations that do so, MUST also set `http.request.method_original` to the original value.
- id: request.method_original
stability: stable
type: string
brief: Original HTTP method sent by the client in the request line.
examples: ["GeT", "ACL", "foo"]
- id: request.resend_count
stability: stable
type: int
brief: >
The ordinal number of request resending attempt (for any reason, including redirects).
note: >
The resend count SHOULD be updated each time an HTTP request gets resent by the client, regardless of what
was the cause of the resending (e.g. redirection, authorization failure, 503 Server Unavailable, network issues,
or any other).
examples: 3
- id: request.size
type: int
brief: >
The total size of the request in bytes. This should be the total number of bytes sent over the wire, including the request line (HTTP/1.1),
framing (HTTP/2 and HTTP/3), headers, and request body if any.
examples: 1437
stability: experimental
- id: response.body.size
type: int
brief: >
The size of the response payload body in bytes. This is the number of bytes transferred excluding headers and
is often, but not always, present as the [Content-Length](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#field.content-length)
header. For requests using transport encoding, this should be the compressed size.

framing (HTTP/2 and HTTP/3), headers, and response body and trailers if any.

type: int
brief: '[HTTP response status code](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6).'

- id: route
stability: stable
type: string
brief: >
The matched route, that is, the path template in the format used by the respective server framework.
examples: ['/users/:userID?', '{controller}/{action}/{id?}']
note: >
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.
SHOULD include the [application root](/docs/http/http-spans.md#http-server-definitions) if there is one.
