Some of these go.mod changes appear unrelated

I believe these all came from running make gotidy. Can see the changes isolated in eb94c8e. Is there another way to get the gopsutil dep update synced without these changes?

Does windows not have a similar attribute?

This is considered a breaking change even if it doesn't increase cardinality and should not be merged in the current form. It can be added as an optional resource attribute or as an optional metric attribute after open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#10726 is done. Also, there is a working group started to stabilize the system metrics https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/projects/55. So this change should be reflected in semantic conventions as well |
For my own understanding, could someone explain what the contract is we're breaking here? I'm asking so I know the acceptance criteria for the next go-round. I can see hostmetrics labeled as "beta", and from https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#beta
Is it then related to the spec described in semantic-conventions, and that gaining a required attribute would violate that? And attribute changes to other receivers, that do not have semantic conventions, would be handled differently? |
@gdvalle please take a look at this doc https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/docs/scraping-receivers.md. It covers the contract as well
Other receivers are more relaxed, especially those that don't have semantic conventions yet. The system metrics are the most mature at this point, and given that the semantic conventions for them will be marked stable soon, this component has to follow all the definitions. All the attributes have to be defined in semantic conventions as well. How we go about this PR should be discussed in the System Semantic Conventions working group first. The discussion should be started as an issue in https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/issues. To me, this sounds like an optional resource attribute. However, the problem is that the |

Description:
This adds a
serial_numberattribute to the hostmetricsreceiver's disk metrics. This data is already fetched as part of the IOCountersStat struct we use for other disk metrics, so nothing new is introduced.Because gopsutil's serial number enumeration was broken when called from
IOCounters(), this relies on a patch in upstream that's not yet in a release, so this also bumps gopsutil to a commit with that included.The use case is associating disk metrics with cloud provider disks. For example, in Google Cloud, a serial number can look like
0Google_PersistentDisk_pvc-xxx, wherepvc-xxxis the GCP disk resource name. It's also the "short" serial number, which might be ideal, but gathering that would be larger patch for gopsutil, so I think we can settle for this.Link to tracking Issue:

This has been running in our production environment for a couple weeks now.
