Semantic Conventions for MSSQL

Status: Experimental

The Semantic Conventions for the Microsoft SQL Server extend and override the Database Semantic Conventions that describe common database operations attributes in addition to the Semantic Conventions described on this page.

db.system MUST be set to "mssql".

Attributes

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamplesRequirement LevelStability
db.mssql.instance_namestringThe Microsoft SQL Server instance name connecting to. This name is used to determine the port of a named instance. [1]MSSQLSERVERRecommendedExperimental
db.sql.tablestringThe name of the primary table that the operation is acting upon, including the database name (if applicable). [2]public.users; customersRecommendedExperimental

[1]: If setting a db.mssql.instance_name, server.port is no longer required (but still recommended if non-standard).

[2]: It is not recommended to attempt any client-side parsing of db.statement just to get this property, but it should be set if it is provided by the library being instrumented. If the operation is acting upon an anonymous table, or more than one table, this value MUST NOT be set.
