Adding a new span attribute called gcp.resource.name which contains an identifier to a particular spanner instance and database in the following format:

//spanner.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/instances/{instance_id}/databases/{database_id}
Example:

//spanner.googleapis.com/projects/my_project/instances/my_instance/databases/my_database

Summary of Changes

Hello @surbhigarg92, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances observability by adding a new gcp.resource.name span attribute. This attribute provides a standardized, unique identifier for Google Cloud Spanner instances and databases within tracing spans, allowing for more precise correlation and analysis of distributed traces related to Spanner operations.

Highlights

  • New Span Attribute: Introduces a new span attribute named gcp.resource.name to provide a unique identifier for Google Cloud Spanner instances and databases within tracing spans.
  • Resource Name Format: The gcp.resource.name attribute will store the Spanner resource identifier in the format //spanner.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/instances/{instance_id}/databases/{database_id}.
  • Implementation Logic: The attribute is set in src/instrument.ts within the startTrace function, constructing the full resource name by prepending //spanner.googleapis.com/ to the provided dbName.
  • Test Coverage: Updated observability-test/observability.ts to include a test case that asserts the correct population and value of the new gcp.resource.name attribute.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new gcp.resource.name span attribute, which is a good enhancement for observability. The implementation is mostly correct, but I've found a couple of issues. The db.name attribute is incorrectly being set to the full resource path, which doesn't align with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. I've provided a suggestion to parse the database name correctly. Additionally, a unit test needs to be updated to assert the correct value for db.name after the changes.
