Semantic Conventions for Tracing Compatibility Components
Status: Experimental
This document defines trace semantic conventions used by the compatibility components, e.g. OpenTracing Shim layer.
OpenTracing
Links created by the OpenTracing Shim MUST set opentracing.ref_type
with one of the accepted values, describing the direct causal relationships
between a child Span and a parent Span, as defined by
OpenTracing.
| Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | Stability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
opentracing.ref_type | string | Parent-child Reference type [1] | child_of | Recommended |  |
[1]: The causal relationship between a child Span and a parent Span.
opentracing.ref_type MUST be one of the following:
| Value | Description | Stability |
|---|---|---|
child_of | The parent Span depends on the child Span in some capacity | |
follows_from | The parent Span doesn’t depend in any way on the result of the child Span | |
