Trace span attributes and events Preview
This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms . Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions .
Client-side traces , which are collected by executing RPCs, provide several pieces of information for every request from a client, including spans with timestamps of when the client sent the RPC request and when the client received the RPC response. The spans include latency introduced by the network and client system.
Client-side traces can include the following information:
Span ID Unique ID of this span Parent Span ID ID of the parent span, not set for root span Project ID Google Cloud project ID that ingested the trace Start Time Span start time End Time Span end time
Span attributes Client Version otel.scope.version String Client Environment gcp.firestore.memory_utilization double (percentage) Client Connection Properties gcp.firestore.settings.channel.needs_credentials boolean gcp.firestore.settings.channel.needs_endpoint boolean gcp.firestore.settings.channel.needs_headers boolean gcp.firestore.settings.channel.should_auto_close boolean gcp.firestore.settings.channel.transport_name string Ex. "grpc" gcp.firestore.settings.credentials.authentication_type string Ex. "OAuth2" gcp.firestore.settings.host string Ex.
