Code Attributes

These attributes provide context about source code

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples	Stability
code.column.number	int	The column number in code.file.path best representing the operation. It SHOULD point within the code unit named in code.function.name.	16
code.file.path	string	The source code file name that identifies the code unit as uniquely as possible (preferably an absolute file path).	/usr/local/MyApplication/content_root/app/index.php
code.function.name	string	The method or function fully-qualified name without arguments. The value should fit the natural representation of the language runtime, which is also likely the same used within code.stacktrace attribute value. [1]	com.example.MyHttpService.serveRequest; GuzzleHttp\Client::transfer; fopen
code.line.number	int	The line number in code.file.path best representing the operation. It SHOULD point within the code unit named in code.function.name.	42
code.stacktrace	string	A stacktrace as a string in the natural representation for the language runtime. The representation is identical to exception.stacktrace.	at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodB(GenerateTrace.java:13)\n at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodA(GenerateTrace.java:9)\n at com.example.GenerateTrace.main(GenerateTrace.java:5)

[1] code.function.name: Values and format depends on each language runtime, thus it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of examples. The values are usually the same (or prefixes of) the ones found in native stack trace representation stored in code.stacktrace without information on arguments.

Examples:

• Java method: com.example.MyHttpService.serveRequest
• Java anonymous class method: com.mycompany.Main$1.myMethod
• Java lambda method: com.mycompany.Main$$Lambda/0x0000748ae4149c00.myMethod
• PHP function: `GuzzleHttp\Client::transfer
• Go function: github.com/my/repo/pkg.foo.func5
• Elixir: OpenTelemetry.Ctx.new
• Erlang: opentelemetry_ctx:new
• Rust: playground::my_module::my_cool_func
• C function: fopen

Deprecated Code Attributes

These deprecated attributes provide context about source code

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples	Stability
code.column	int	Deprecated, use code.column.number	16	Replaced by code.column.number
code.filepath	string	Deprecated, use code.file.path instead	/usr/local/MyApplication/content_root/app/index.php	Replaced by code.file.path
code.function	string	Deprecated, use code.function.name instead	serveRequest	Replaced by code.function.name
code.lineno	int	Deprecated, use code.line.number instead	42	Replaced by code.line.number
code.namespace	string	Deprecated, namespace is now included into code.function.name	com.example.MyHttpService	Value should be included in code.function.name which is expected to be a fully-qualified name.
