Azure Monitor Exporter Role Name differences

Describe the issue you're reporting

Hi,

Not necessarily an issue, more a question in how the Cloud RoleName is generated in the Azure Monitor Collector exporter, versus the .NET Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.Exporter

The collector exporter formats the RoleName as: service_name or service_namespace.service_name (see below)

opentelemetry-collector-contrib/exporter/azuremonitorexporter/contracts_utils.go

Line 34 in 80ebb76

cloudRole = serviceNamespace.Str() + "." + cloudRole

However, the .NET SDK generates a RoleName with the following: service_name or [service_namespace]/service_name (see ResourceExtensions.cs)

We're migrating away from the in-app SDK to depend on the collector instead, however the inconsistency with RoleName may mean we may need to redo some our queries or alerts

Which is the correct approach?
