Description
Cardinality capping is a relatively difficult topic to understand. A lot of users make incorrect assumptions about the topic. To make life easier, we need to write a full tutorial explaining the concept, and how OTel's approach to reporting overflow can be (and should be) used by users when querying metrics.
I plan to use Aspire dashboard tool for the tutorial, as that is the only OpenSource tool that natively understand's Otel's overflow attribute.
dotnet/aspire#7784
Topics to cover:
- What is cardinality limit?
- How OTel enforces the limit?
- What attributes are subject to the cap (more importantly, what is not subject to cap)
- How users should plan for cardinality limit?
- How delta vs cumulative influences cardinality limit.
- How to leverage overflow signal, to avoid making incorrect decisions based on Metric data. (Most important!)
