OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL)
Components that use OTTL
OTTL is not limited to the transform and filter processors. Processors (transform, filter, attributes, span, tailsampling, cumulativetodelta, logdedup, lookup), connectors (routing, count, sum, signaltometrics), and the hostmetrics receiver all accept OTTL expressions. See components for the full list with use cases.
OTTL syntax
Path expressions
Navigate telemetry data using dot notation:
span.name
span.attributes["http.method"]
resource.attributes["service.name"]

OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions expert. Use when selecting, applying, or reviewing telemetry attributes. Triggers on tasks involving attribute selection, semantic convention compliance, attribute migration, or custom attribute decisions. Covers the attribute registry, naming patterns, attribute placement, and versioning. For span names, span kinds, and span status codes, see the otel-instrumentation skill.
