The OpenTelemetry pipeline supports the following OTel attributes:
Any tag associated with the test is transformed into an attribute of the Resource
.
Each tag is defined by a key
and a value
. For instance, you might have tags such as branch:sfo
, branch:nyc
and team:netops
When a tag is converted to an attribute:
If there are several values for the same key, the attribute value will be represented as an array containing the string
elements that are the values associated with the tag's key
.
If there is only one value for the key, the attribute value will be represented as string
.
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.
