Beyla can also export Span metrics and
Service graph metrics , which can be enabled via the
features configuration option.
Attributes of Beyla metrics For the sake of brevity, only the OTEL dot.notation of the metrics and attributes is listed, but
the metrics and attributes are exposed underscore_notation when a Prometheus exporter is used.
In order to hide attributes that are shown by default, or show attributes that are hidden by
default, check the attributes->select section in the configuration documentation .
