When FaaS operations occur, +metric events about those operations will be generated and reported to provide insight into the +operations. By adding FaaS labels to metric events it allows for finely tuned filtering. + +**Disclaimer:** These are initial FaaS metric instruments and labels but more may be added in the future. + +## Metric Instruments + +The following metric instruments MUST be used to describe FaaS operations. They MUST be of the specified +type and units. + +### FaaS Invocations + +Below is a table of FaaS invocation metric instruments. + +| Name | Instrument | Units | Description | +|------|------------|----|--|-------------| +| `faas.invoke_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the invocation | +| `faas.init_duration` | ValueRecorder | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the function's initialization, such as a cold start | +| `faas.coldstarts` | Counter | number of cold starts | Number of invocation cold starts. | +| `faas.errors` | Counter | number of errors | Number of invocation errors. | +| `faas.executions` | counter | number of invocations | number of successful invocations. | +| `faas.timeouts` | counter | number of timeouts | number of invocation timeouts. | + +## Labels + +Below is a table of the labels that SHOULD be included on FaaS metric events. + +| Name | Recommended | Notes and examples | +|------|-------------|--------------------| +| `faas.trigger` | Yes | Type of the trigger on which the function is invoked. SHOULD be one of: `datasource`, `http`, `pubsub`, `timer`, `other` | +| `faas.invoked_name` | Yes | Name of the invoked function. Example: `my-function` | +| `faas.invoked_provider` | Yes | Cloud provider of the invoked function. Corresponds to the resource `cloud.provider`. Example: `aws` | +| `faas.invoked_region` | Yes | Cloud provider region of invoked function. Corresponds to resource `cloud.region`.
