General Semantic Conventions

This document defines general Semantic Conventions for spans, metrics, logs and events.

The following general Semantic Conventions are defined:

  • General attributes: General semantic attributes.
  • Events: General Semantic Conventions for events.
  • Logs: General Semantic Conventions for logs.
  • Metrics: General Semantic Conventions for metrics.
  • Spans: General Semantic Conventions for traces / spans.

Event Name Reuse Prohibition

A new event MUST NOT be added with the same name as an event that existed in the past but was renamed (with a corresponding schema file).

When introducing a new event name check all existing schema files to make sure the name does not appear as a key of any "rename_events" section (keys denote old event names in rename operations).
