OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions
==================================

[](#opentelemetry-semantic-conventions)

Common semantic conventions used by OpenTelemetry implementations across all languages.

Please note that Semantic Conventions are tagged with the version of the [Semantic Conventions](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/tags) that they were generated from.

See .

Stability
=========

[](#stability)

Semantic conventions are separated into `stable` and `incubating`. Both are generated from the [Semantic Conventions](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions) release with the same version as this package.

Instrumentation authors should use stable conventions where possible, but may use incubating conventions.

Deprecated conventions will be removed immediately from the next release after their deprecation, and there is no backwards compatibility guarantee for deprecated conventions.

Stable
------

[](#stable)

Stable semantic conventions (`OpenTelemetry\SemConv\Attributes\*` and `OpenTelemetry\SemConv\Metrics\*`) are based on all elements marked as `stable` and are considered safe for use in production.

Incubating
----------

[](#incubating)

Incubating semantic conventions (`OpenTelemetry\SemConv\Incubating\*`) contain both `stable` and `experimental` (in-development) elements. Experimental elements should be used with caution.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require open-telemetry/sem-conv
```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)
