Description

OB-54347: After internal testing, we determined the Observe product experience for observe-agent RED metrics needed to be improved for performance. This change does the following:

  • emit a new set of RED metrics with the .summary suffix, which will only have the dimensions present in the BE service metrics
  • the RED metrics flag only_generate_for_service_entrypoint_spans is renamed to only_generate_for_apm_spans for clarity and will default to true
  • when only_generate_for_apm_spans is turned off, the internal (and other non-APM) span RED metrics will be renamed to have a .internal suffix
  • default to using deployment.environment.name instead of deployment.environment
