Description

@lmolkova

See https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/docs/general/how-to-define-semantic-conventions.md#defining-metrics

Some areas to cover:

  • granularity / when to define a new metric vs reuse the same metric definition across multiple operations
  • cardinality
  • duration histogram covers request rate/error rate
  • errors: link to recording errors
