The OpenTelemetry Resource is an immutable representation of the entity producing telemetry. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the Resource
.
This document defines standard attributes for resources which are accessible via @opentelemetry/semantic-conventions
.
npm install --save @opentelemetry/resources
import { ATTR_SERVICE_NAME } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions';
import { resourceFromAttributes } from '@opentelemetry/resources';
const resource = resourceFromAttributes({
[ATTR_SERVICE_NAME]: 'api-service',
});
const anotherResource = resourceFromAttributes({
'service.version': '2.0.0',
'service.group': 'instrumentation-group'
});
const mergedResource = resource.merge(anotherResource);
