Before opening a feature request against this repo, consider whether the feature should/could be implemented in the other OpenTelemetry client libraries. If so, please open an issue on opentelemetry-specification first.

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, provide a concise description of the problem.

Describe the solution you'd like What do you want to happen instead? What is the expected behavior?

There SHOULD be a message printed in the SDK's log to indicate to the user that an attribute was discarded due to such a limit. To prevent excessive logging, the message MUST be printed at most once per LogRecord (i.e., not per discarded attribute).

Describe alternatives you've considered Which alternative solutions or features have you considered?

Additional context Add any other context about the feature request here. LogRecordLimits
