If the value was not specified, SDKs MUST fallback to `unknown_service:` concatenated
|
|
with [`process.executable.name`](process.md), e.g. `unknown_service:bash`.
|
|
If `process.executable.name` is not available, the value MUST be set to `unknown_service`.

brief: >

A namespace for `service.name`.
|
|
note: >
|
|
A string value having a meaning that helps to distinguish a group of services,
|
|
for example the team name that owns a group of services.
|
|
`service.name` is expected to be unique within the same namespace.
|
|
If `service.namespace` is not specified in the Resource then `service.name`
|
|
is expected to be unique for all services that have no explicit namespace defined
|
|
(so the empty/unspecified namespace is simply one more valid namespace).
|
|
Zero-length namespace string is assumed equal to unspecified namespace.
|
|
examples: ["Shop"]

- id: instance.id
|
|
type: string
|
|
stability: experimental
|
|
brief: >
|
|
The string ID of the service instance.
|
|
note: |
|
|
MUST be unique for each instance of the same `service.namespace,service.name` pair (in other words
|
|
`service.namespace,service.name,service.instance.id` triplet MUST be globally unique). The ID helps to
|
|
distinguish instances of the same service that exist at the same time (e.g. instances of a horizontally scaled
|
|
service).
|
|
|
|
Implementations, such as SDKs, are recommended to generate a random Version 1 or Version 4 [RFC
|
|
4122](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) UUID, but are free to use an inherent unique ID as the source of
|
|
this value if stability is desirable. In that case, the ID SHOULD be used as source of a UUID Version 5 and
|
|
SHOULD use the following UUID as the namespace: `4d63009a-8d0f-11ee-aad7-4c796ed8e320`.
|
|
|
|
UUIDs are typically recommended, as only an opaque value for the purposes of identifying a service instance is
|
|
needed. Similar to what can be seen in the man page for the
|
|
[`/etc/machine-id`](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/machine-id.html) file, the underlying
|
|
data, such as pod name and namespace should be treated as confidential, being the user's choice to expose it
|
|
or not via another resource attribute.
|
|
|
|
For applications running behind an application server (like unicorn), we do not recommend using one identifier
|
|
for all processes participating in the application. Instead, it's recommended each division (e.g. a worker
|
|
thread in unicorn) to have its own instance.id.
|
|
|
|
It's not recommended for a Collector to set `service.instance.id` if it can't unambiguously determine the
|
|
service instance that is generating that telemetry. For instance, creating an UUID based on `pod.name` will
|
|
likely be wrong, as the Collector might not know from which container within that pod the telemetry originated.
|
|
However, Collectors can set the `service.instance.id` if they can unambiguously determine the service instance
|
|
for that telemetry. This is typically the case for scraping receivers, as they know the target address and
|
|
port.
