OTel Attribute Descriptions

[Roman.Bats]

In the "Configure The OpenTelemetry Collector" documentation I see "Attribute Description":

service.name	string	shoppingcart	Logical name of the service; equivalent to your AppDynamics tier name.....
service.namespace	string	Shop	A namespace for the service.name; equivalent to your AppDynamics application name....

Is this correct? "service.namespace" = "application name" and "service.name" = "tier name".

Or should it be "service.namespace" = "tier name" and "service.name" = "application name" and this is just a mistake documenting it?

Hi, @Roman.Bats – Wanted to let you know that the author of the documentation won't see our clarification request until Sunday US time, but we're looking to track down another SME who can answer your question. 

Best,
Claudia Landivar, AppDynamics Community Manager & Editor

Yes, this is correct, "service.namespace" is a wider concept and it groups together a number of services.
