Metrics are the quantitative backbone of observability—the numbers that tell us how our systems are performing. This is the third post in our OpenTelemetry naming series, where we’ve already explored how to name spans and how to enrich them with meaningful attributes. Now let’s tackle the art of naming the measurements that matter. Unlike spans that tell stories about what happened, metrics tell us about quantities: how many, how fast, how much. But here’s the thing—naming them well...| Blog on OpenTelemetry
Welcome to the second installment in our series on OpenTelemetry naming best practices. In our previous post, we explored how to name spans using the {verb} {object} pattern. Today, we’re diving into span attributes—the rich contextual data that transforms your traces from simple operation logs into powerful debugging and analysis tools. This guide targets developers who are: Instrumenting their own applications with custom spans and attributes Enriching telemetry beyond what auto-instrum...| Blog on OpenTelemetry
