Attributes
The OpenTelemtery pipeline supports the following OTel test data attributes:
Common Resource Attributes
Common Metric Attributes
Tags as Attributes
Any tag associated with the test is transformed into an attribute of the DataPoint
.
Each tag is defined by a key
and a value
. For instance, you might have tags such as branch:sfo
or branch:nyc
.
When a tag is converted to an attribute, its value
is an array containing the string
elements that are the values associated with the tag's key
.
For the tag examples above, the resulting attribute would be structured as follows:
Note that not all observability platforms accommodate the use of string arrays for attribute values. For instance, New Relic does not support this format. If your backend does not support string arrays for attributes, the tag attribute is excluded from the metric.
