Semantic Conventions
Common names for different kinds of operations and data.
OpenTelemetry defines Semantic Conventions (sometimes called Semantic Attributes) that specify common names for different kinds of operations and data. The benefit of using Semantic Conventions is in following a common naming scheme that can be standardized across a codebase, libraries, and platforms.
Semantic Conventions are available for traces, metrics, logs, and resources:
- Trace Semantic Conventions
- Metric Semantic Conventions
- Log Semantic Conventions
- Resource Semantic Conventions
