This module provides automatic instrumentation for the net module, which may be loaded using the @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node package and is included in the @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node bundle.
If total installation size is not constrained, it is recommended to use the @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node bundle with @opentelemetry/sdk-node for the most seamless instrumentation experience.
Compatible with OpenTelemetry JS API and SDK 1.0+.
Supports both TCP and IPC connections.

});This instrumentation implements Semantic Conventions (semconv) v1.7.0. Since then, many networking-related semantic conventions (in semconv v1.21.0 and v1.23.1) were stabilized. As of @opentelemetry/instrumentation-net@0.53.0 support has been added for migrating to the stable semantic conventions using the OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN environment variable as follows:
- Upgrade to the latest version of this instrumentation package.
- Set
OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=http/dupto emit both old and stable semantic conventions. (Thehttptoken is used to control thenet.*attributes.) - Modify alerts, dashboards, metrics, and other processes in your Observability system to use the stable semantic conventions.
- Set
OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=httpto emit only the stable semantic conventions.
By default, if OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN is not set or does not include http, then the old v1.7.0 semconv is used.
The intent is to provide an approximate 6 month time window for users of this instrumentation to migrate to the new networking semconv, after which a new minor version will use the new semconv by default and drop support for the old semconv.
See the HTTP migration guide and deprecated network attributes for details.
