AWS Beanstalk Detector

Populates service for processes running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

| Resource Attribute | Description | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | cloud.platform | The cloud platform. In this context, it's always "aws_elastic_beanstalk" | | cloud.provider | The cloud provider. In this context, it's always "aws" | | service.instance.id | Value of deployment_id from config file environment.conf | | service.name | The service name. In this context, it's always "aws_elastic_beanstalk" | | service.namespace | Value of environment_name from config file environment.conf | | service.version | Value of version_label from config file environment.conf |

AWS EC2 Detector

Populates cloud and host for processes running on Amazon EC2, including abstractions such as ECS on EC2. Notably, it does not populate anything on AWS Fargate.

| Resource Attribute | Description | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | cloud.account.id | Value of accountId from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request | | cloud.availability_zone | Value of availabilityZone from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request | | cloud.platform | The cloud platform. In this context, it's always "aws_ec2" | | cloud.provider | The cloud provider. In this context, it's always "aws" | | cloud.region | Value of region from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request | | host.id | Value of instanceId from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request | | host.name | Value of hostname from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request | | host.type | Value of instanceType from /latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document request |

AWS ECS Detector

Populates container for containers running on Amazon ECS.

| Resource Attribute | Description | |-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | aws.ecs.container.arn | Value of ContainerARN from the request to the metadata Uri. The Metadata Uri is stored on the Environment Variable ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 | | aws.ecs.cluster.arn | Value in the format ${baseArn}:cluster/${cluster}, with baseArn and cluster from a ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request, with values from TaskARN and Cluster respectively | | aws.ecs.launchtype | Value of LaunchType from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request | | aws.ecs.task.arn | Value of TaskARN from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request | | aws.ecs.task.family | Value of Family from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request | | aws.ecs.task.revision | Value of Revision from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request | | aws.log.group.arns | Value on format arn:aws:logs:${logsRegion}:${awsAccount}:log-group:${logsGroupName}, with logsRegions and logsGroupName from logs metadata, values of awslogs-region and awslogs-group respectively, and awsAccount parsed value from the TaskARN. Logs metadata values come from LogOptions on ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 request | | aws.log.group.names | Value of awslogs-group from logs metadata. Logs metadata values come from LogOptions on ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 request | | aws.log.stream.arns | Value on format arn:aws:logs:${logsRegion}:${awsAccount}:log-group:${logsGroupName}:log-stream:${logsStreamName}, with logsRegions, logsGroupName and logsStreamName from logs metadata, values of awslogs-region, awslogs-group and awslogs-stream respectively, and awsAccount parsed value from the TaskARN | | aws.log.stream.names | Value of awslogs-stream from logs metadata | | cloud.account.id | Parsed value from the TaskARN | | cloud.availability_zone | Value of AvailabilityZone from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request. This value is not available in all Fargate runtimes | | cloud.platform | The cloud platform. In this context, it's always "aws_ecs" | | cloud.provider | The cloud provider. In this context, it's always "aws" | | cloud.region | Parsed value from the TaskARN | | cloud.resource_id | Value of ContainerARN from ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4/task request | | container.id | Value from file /proc/self/cgroup | | container.name | The hostname of the operating system |

AWS EKS Detector

Populates container and k8s.cluster_name for containers running on Amazon EKS. k8s.cluster_name is not always available depending on the configuration of CloudWatch monitoring for the EKS cluster.

| Resource Attribute | Description | |--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | cloud.platform | The cloud platform. In this context, it's always "aws_eks" | | cloud.provider | The cloud provider. In this context, it's always "aws" | | container.id | Value from config file /proc/self/cgroup | | k8s.cluster.name | Value of cluster.name from /api/v1/namespaces/amazon-cloudwatch/configmaps/cluster-info request |

AWS Lambda Detector

Populates faas and cloud for functions running on AWS Lambda. faas.id is currently not populated as it is not provided by the runtime at startup.

| Resource Attribute | Description | |--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | cloud.platform | The cloud platform. In this context, it's always "aws_lambda" | | cloud.provider | The cloud provider. In this context, it's always "aws" | | cloud.region | Value of Process Environment Variable AWS_REGION | | faas.name | Value of Process Environment Variable AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME | | faas.version | Value of Process Environment Variable AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_VERSION |
