# General

The conventions described in this section are FaaS (function as a service) specific. When FaaS operations occur,
metric events about those operations will be generated and reported to provide insight into the
operations. By adding FaaS labels to metric events it allows for finely tuned filtering.
The conventions described in this section aim both Functions running as a service (FaaS) and on-premise setups. When Functions are operated, metric events about those operations will be generated and reported to provide insight into the
operations. By adding Functions dedicated labels to metric events it allows for finely tuned filtering.

**Disclaimer:** These are initial FaaS metric instruments and labels but more may be added in the future.
**Disclaimer:** These are initial Function metric instruments and labels but more may be added in the future. Not all instruments
apply to all environments.

## Metric Instruments

The following metric instruments MUST be used to describe FaaS operations. They MUST be of the specified
The following metric instruments MUST be used to describe Function operations. They MUST be of the specified
type and units.

### FaaS Invocations
### Function Invocations

Below is a table of FaaS invocation metric instruments.
Below is a table of Function invocation metric instruments.

| Name | Instrument | Units | Description |
|------|------------|----|--|-------------|
| `faas.invoke_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the invocation |
| `faas.init_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the function's initialization, such as a cold start |
| `faas.coldstarts` | Counter | number of cold starts | Number of invocation cold starts. |
| `faas.errors` | Counter | number of errors | Number of invocation errors. |
| `faas.executions` | counter | number of invocations | number of successful invocations. |
| `faas.timeouts` | counter | number of timeouts | number of invocation timeouts. |
|------|------------|-------|-------------|
| `func.invoke_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the invocation where real work is being done. |
| `func.init_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the function's initialization, such as a cold start |
| `func.coldstarts` | Counter | number of cold starts | Number of invocation cold starts. |
| `func.errors` | Counter | number of errors | Number of invocation errors. |
| `func.executions` | Counter | number of invocations | number of successful invocations. |
| `func.timeouts` | Counter | number of timeouts | number of invocation timeouts. |

## Labels

Below is a table of the labels that SHOULD be included on FaaS metric events.
Below is a table of the labels that SHOULD be included on Func metric events if applicable.

| Name | Recommended | Notes and examples |
|------|-------------|--------------------|
| `faas.trigger` | Yes | Type of the trigger on which the function is invoked. SHOULD be one of: `datasource`, `http`, `pubsub`, `timer`, `other` |
| `faas.invoked_name` | Yes | Name of the invoked function. Example: `my-function` |
| `faas.invoked_provider` | Yes | Cloud provider of the invoked function. Corresponds to the resource `cloud.provider`. Example: `aws` |
| `faas.invoked_region` | Yes | Cloud provider region of invoked function. Corresponds to resource `cloud.region`. Example: `us-east-1` |
| `func.trigger` | Yes | Type of the trigger on which the function is invoked. SHOULD be one of: `datasource`, `http`, `pubsub`, `timer`, `other` |
| `func.invoked_name` | Yes | Name of the invoked function. Example: `my-function` |
| `func.invoked_provider` | Yes | Cloud provider of the invoked function. Corresponds to the resource `cloud.provider`. Example: `aws` |
| `func.invoked_region` | Yes | Cloud provider region of invoked function. Corresponds to resource `cloud.region`. Example: `us-east-1` |
