Revisit 1024 char limit on label values #14721

Open carsonip opened 4 days ago

carsonip commented 4 days ago

There is a 1024 character (as in unicode characters) limit on string label values, on otlp (see code) and intakev2, because we used to depend on Beats & Fleet to set up mappings which would both set ignore_above: 1024 on keyword fields. As apm-server has migrated to ES apm-data plugin, revisit this limitation on label value.

14716 is a related issue to handle an inconsistency in enforcing this limit.

AFAIR OpenTelemetry is also enforcing some limits on the Attributes key/value length? Is it true? If yes, how do we discern the APM format, if we'd need to?

There is truncation for OTel attributes but default truncation length is unlimited by default: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/common/#attribute-limits
