Document github.copilot.* OTel attribute namespace#9834
Merged
Conversation
Expand the agent OpenTelemetry monitoring guide to cover the canonical
github.copilot.* attribute namespace (shared with the GitHub Copilot CLI
conventions) alongside the legacy copilot_chat.* keys.
Adds per-span attribute tables for invoke_agent, chat, execute_tool, and
the previously-undocumented execute_hook span, including:
- github.copilot.agent.type
- github.copilot.git.{repository,branch,commit_sha}
- github.copilot.github.org
- github.copilot.tool.parameters.*
- github.copilot.hook.{decision,duration,tool_names}
- gen_ai.usage.reasoning.output_tokens
Calls out the dual-emit policy: copilot_chat.* keys continue to emit
indefinitely so existing dashboards keep working.

Expand the agent OpenTelemetry monitoring guide to cover the canonical `github.copilot.*` attribute namespace landed in microsoft/vscode#318031.
The namespace is shared with the GitHub Copilot CLI OpenTelemetry conventions, so a single set of dashboards and alerts can now cover both surfaces.
