Define semantic conventions for timing metrics #1035

Open jgals opened 4 years ago

jgals commented 4 years ago

What are you trying to achieve? Documented semantic conventions for any generic timing measurement (e.g. latency, response time, throughput) along with labels that allow faceting by e.g. error.

What did you expect to see? Semantic conventions for timing metrics documented in markdown generated from YAML definitions as per #547.

Additional context. These should be roughly analogous to the trace semantic conventions for generic spans defined here. For reference, metric semantic conventions for HTTP operations are already defined here.

This issue is sort of a duplicate of #654. I've just created PR #1142, which is sort of a rewrite of the old PR #657.
