WIP: pipeline monitoring otep #259

Open kristinapathak opened 1 month ago

kristinapathak commented 1 month ago

A continuation of @jmacd's work on https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/238 and https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/249

The goal of this OTEP is to define a semantic convention for metrics that provide information on the flow of data through a pipeline, providing insights both between and within segments of telemetry pipelines.

WIP.

Main focuses currently:

  1. Measuring loss in the pipeline: providing examples that show how failures show up in the proposed metric instruments.
  2. Example scenarios and adding descriptions to diagrams.
