How to collect window.location for all spans

[ikibalnyi]

Hi,

What kind of concept should I use to set the current browser URL to all the spans? As I understand, resources are immutable, detectors are initiated only once, and instrumentation is more of a tool to wrap some functionality to create a span. So what should I use to make a "plugin" which could add custom dynamic attributes for each span?

There doesn't really exist such a mechanism. You could probably use a custom span processor to build it yourself

Thanks for answer, yeah, that's what we ended up doing actually

Some instrumentations have a config parameter called applyCustomAttributesOnSpan - this can also be used for the purpose.

We are also working on adding this to the semantic conventions so we can include it by default.
