Semantic conventions for RocketMQ

Status: Development

The Semantic Conventions for Apache RocketMQ extend and override the Messaging Semantic Conventions.

Apache RocketMQ spans

Send span (producer)

Status: Development

Describes a producer sending one or more messages to Apache RocketMQ.

Use this span when no separate “Create” span exists and the “Send” span’s context is injected into the message(s) as the creation context. See Producer spans for details.

Span kind SHOULD be PRODUCER.

Span status SHOULD follow the Recording Errors document.

messaging.message.conversation_idDevelopmentRecommendedstringThe conversation ID identifying the conversation to which the message belongs, represented as a string. Sometimes called “Correlation ID”.MyConversationId

messaging.rocketmq.message.keysDevelopmentRecommendedstring[]Key(s) of message, another way to mark message besides message ID.["keyA", "keyB"]
messaging.rocketmq.message.tagDevelopmentRecommendedstringThe secondary classifier of message besides topic.tagA
messaging.rocketmq.message.typeDevelopmentRecommendedstringType of message.normal; fifo; delay
network.peer.addressStableRecommended If applicable for this messaging system.stringPeer address of the messaging intermediary node where the operation was performed. [12]10.1.2.80; /tmp/my.sock

messaging.message.body.sizeDevelopmentOpt-InintThe size of the message body in bytes. Only applicable for spans describing single message operations. [15]1439
messaging.message.envelope.sizeDevelopmentOpt-InintThe size of the message body and metadata in bytes. [16]2738

[1] messaging.system: MUST be set to "rocketmq".

[2] error.type: The error.type SHOULD be predictable, and SHOULD have low cardinality.

When error.type is set to a type (e.g., an exception type), its canonical class name identifying the type within the artifact SHOULD be used.

If the recorded error type is a wrapper that is not meaningful for failure classification, instrumentation MAY use the type of the inner error instead. For example, in Go, errors created with fmt.Errorf using %w MAY be unwrapped when the wrapper type does not help classify the failure.

Instrumentations SHOULD document the list of errors they report.

The cardinality of error.type within one instrumentation library SHOULD be low. Telemetry consumers that aggregate data from multiple instrumentation libraries and applications should be prepared for error.type to have high cardinality at query time when no additional filters are applied.

If the operation has completed successfully, instrumentations SHOULD NOT set error.type.

If a specific domain defines its own set of error identifiers (such as HTTP or RPC status codes), it’s RECOMMENDED to:

  • Use a domain-specific attribute
  • Set error.type to capture all errors, regardless of whether they are defined within the domain-specific set or not.

[3] messaging.batch.message_count: If the span describes an operation on a batch of messages.

[4] messaging.batch.message_count: Instrumentations SHOULD NOT set messaging.batch.message_count on spans that operate with a single message. When a messaging client library supports both batch and single-message API for the same operation, instrumentations SHOULD use messaging.batch.message_count for batching APIs and SHOULD NOT use it for single-message APIs.

[5] messaging.destination.name: If span describes operation on a single message or if the value applies to all messages in the batch.

[6] messaging.destination.name: SHOULD uniquely identify a specific queue, topic or other entity within the broker. If the broker doesn’t have such notion, it SHOULD uniquely identify the broker.

[7] messaging.destination.template: If available. Instrumentations MUST NOT use messaging.destination.name as template unless low-cardinality of destination name is guaranteed.

[8] messaging.destination.template: Destination names could be constructed from templates. An example would be a destination name involving a username or product ID. Although the destination name in this case is of high cardinality, the underlying template is of low cardinality and can be effectively used for grouping and aggregation.

[9] messaging.operation.type: SHOULD be set to send.

[10] messaging.rocketmq.message.delay_time_level: If the message type is delay and delivery timestamp is not specified.

[11] messaging.rocketmq.message.delivery_timestamp: If the message type is delay and delay time level is not specified.

[12] network.peer.address: Semantic conventions for individual messaging systems SHOULD document whether network.peer.* attributes are applicable. Network peer address and port are important when the application interacts with individual intermediary nodes directly, If a messaging operation involved multiple network calls (for example retries), the address of the last contacted node SHOULD be used.

[13] server.address: Server domain name of the broker if available without reverse DNS lookup; otherwise, IP address or UNIX domain socket name.

[14] server.port: When observed from the client side, and when communicating through an intermediary, server.port SHOULD represent the server port behind any intermediaries, for example proxies, if it’s available.

[15] messaging.message.body.size: This can refer to both the compressed or uncompressed body size. If both sizes are known, the uncompressed body size should be used.

[16] messaging.message.envelope.size: This can refer to both the compressed or uncompressed size. If both sizes are known, the uncompressed size should be used.

The following attributes can be important for making sampling decisions and SHOULD be provided at span creation time (if provided at all):

Process span

Status: Development

Describes a consumer processing one or more messages from Apache RocketMQ (push-based).

“Process” spans are created for push-based scenarios, where messages are passed to the application through a callback or handler. See Consumer spans for details.

Exclusively for single-message scenarios, when the message creation context is used as the parent, see Message creation context as parent of “Process” span.

Span kind SHOULD be CONSUMER.

Span status SHOULD follow the Recording Errors document.
