Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

v1.30.0 of OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions has two breaking changes to the db.system attribute. This will impact the ability for the metrics-generator to create virtual nodes in service graphs.

The breaking changes are:

  • Attribute renamed from db.system to db.system.name
  • List of constants for recognized databases updated

Describe the solution you'd like

db.system.name recognized as a peer attribute for service graph metrics generation.
