Tags as Attributes

Any tag associated with the test is transformed into a Resource attribute.

Each tag is defined by a key and a value. For instance, you might have tags such as branch:sfo, branch:nycand 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.
