Instrument the application boundary
Record the operation fingerprint and final status where the application sees pool wait, execution, transaction, and timeout outcomes.
Instrument database clients, ORMs, caches, streams, and application-owned query boundaries without storing raw SQL or sensitive parameters.
Reviewed by the Telemetry product team on . Runtime boundaries, shared event fields, verification workflow, and upstream implementation sources. Review standards and ownership
8 implementation guides
Every guide includes a server-side snippet, delivery and privacy boundaries, a verification query, related SQL, and links to upstream documentation.

Record the operation fingerprint and final status where the application sees pool wait, execution, transaction, and timeout outcomes.
Normalize operations before collection. SQL text, bound parameters, connection strings, and returned rows can expose secrets or customer data.
Pool saturation, cache misses, or consumer lag become actionable when they affect a service, release, route, job, or account workflow.
Shared event contract
Adapt these fields to the workflow, but keep units, status categories, identifiers, and ownership explicit before several services depend on the same table.
