# OpenTelemetry Resources Util

[![NPM Published Version][npm-img]][npm-url]
[![Apache License][license-image]][license-image]

The OpenTelemetry Resource is an immutable representation of the entity producing telemetry. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the `Resource`.

[This document][resource-semantic_conventions] defines standard attributes for resources which are accessible via [`@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/main/semantic-conventions).

## Installation

```bash
npm install --save @opentelemetry/resources
```

## Usage

```typescript
import { ATTR_SERVICE_NAME } from '@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions';
import { resourceFromAttributes } from '@opentelemetry/resources';

const resource = resourceFromAttributes({
    [ATTR_SERVICE_NAME]: 'api-service',
});

const anotherResource = resourceFromAttributes({
    'service.version': '2.0.0',
    'service.group': 'instrumentation-group'
});
const mergedResource = resource.merge(anotherResource);
```
