Const ExperimentalThis event SHOULD be recorded when an exception occurs during HTTP client operations. Instrumentations SHOULD set the severity to WARN (severity number 13) when recording this event. Some HTTP client frameworks generate artificial exceptions for non-successful HTTP status codes (e.g., 404 Not Found). When possible, instrumentations SHOULD NOT record these artificial exceptions, or SHOULD set the severity to DEBUG (severity number 5). Instrumentations MAY provide a configuration option to populate exception events with the attributes captured on the corresponding HTTP client span.
This event is experimental and is subject to breaking changes in minor releases of @opentelemetry/semantic-conventions.
This event represents an exception that occurred during an HTTP client request, such as network failures, timeouts, or other errors that prevent the request from completing successfully.
