# Semantic Conventions for Runtime Environment Metrics
# Semantic Conventions for Runtime Environment

**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]

This document includes semantic conventions for runtime environment level
metrics in OpenTelemetry. Also consider the [general
metric](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions), [system
metrics](system-metrics.md) and [OS Process metrics](process-metrics.md)
semantic conventions when instrumenting runtime environments.
This document defines semantic conventions for
runtime environment spans, metrics and logs.

### Runtime Environment Specific Metrics - `process.runtime.{environment}.`

Metrics specific to a certain runtime environment should be prefixed with
`process.runtime.{environment}.` and follow the semantic conventions outlined in
[general metric semantic
conventions](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions). Authors of
runtime instrumentations are responsible for the choice of `{environment}` to
avoid ambiguity when interpreting a metric's name or values.
the runtime's top-level namespace `{environment}.*`, e.g., `jvm.*` and follow the
[general metric semantic convention guidelines](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions).

Authors of runtime instrumentations are responsible for the choice of
`{environment}` to avoid ambiguity when interpreting a metric's name or values.

For example, some programming languages have multiple runtime environments
that vary significantly in their implementation, like [Python which has many
implementations](https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonImplementations). For
such languages, consider using specific `{environment}` prefixes to avoid
ambiguity, like `process.runtime.cpython.` and `process.runtime.pypy.`.

Also consider the
[general metrics](/docs/general/metrics.md#general-metric-semantic-conventions),
[system metrics](/docs/system/system-metrics.md) and
[OS process metrics](/docs/system/process-metrics.md)
semantic conventions when instrumenting runtime environments.

There are other dimensions even within a given runtime environment to
consider, for example pthreads vs green thread implementations.
