Change meaning of agent.type and service.type
So far service.name
was used for things like elasticsearch
. APM is putting this information under service.type
and service.name
is not used yet. .name
and .type
is also used in other places in ECS. Most of the .name
entries are user defined and type is predefined values.
The general suggestion is to make .type the value that will not change over time but .name can. A few examples:
