### Instrument Types

The semantic metric conventions specification is written to use the names of the synchronous instrument types,
like `Counter` or `UpDownCounter`. However, compliant implementations MAY use the asynchronous equivalent instead,
like `Asynchronous Counter` or `Asynchronous UpDownCounter`.
Whether implementations choose the synchronous type or the asynchronous equivalent is considered to be an
implementation detail. Both choices are compliant with this specification.

## Attributes

Below is a table of the attributes to be included on FaaS metric events.

| 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` |

More details on these attributes, the function name and the difference compared to the faas.invoked_name can be found at the related [FaaS tracing specification](../../trace/semantic_conventions/faas.md).
For incoming FaaS executions, the function for which metrics are reported is already described by its [FaaS resource attributes](../../resource/semantic_conventions/faas.md).
