Is there an index for all available schema?

[MrAlias]

I am writing code that uses these schema and would like to create automation that checks all published schema are supported. To do this I need to be able to dynamically get a list of all published schema.

Ideally, I would be able to make a request to the opentelemetry.io website and get an index of all published schema and their URLs.

Does this already exist, or is it something that would need to be added?

That's something that would need to be added. Question is, if this should be done via the opentelemetry website or if it should come from https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/, because as of today the schemas are loaded via a submodule from there

Any suggestions, @chalin ?

Hi @MrAlias, I'm back from vacation now.

I'd like to better understand your needs and what you are trying to achieve. First a question ...

would like to create automation that checks all published schema are supported

Wasn't there such a check in the OTel spec repo at one point? Is it that check that you are trying to rework?

[MrAlias]

I'm writing a translation utility for resource attributes based on OTel schema. My needs have changed slightly as it has been developed, and now I need to ensure that I have the latest schema published. It would be ideal if there was some query I can make to get the "latest" schema.

@MrAlias would it help if https://opentelemetry.io/schemas/latest points to the latest schema via a redirect? So you hit that URL and it gives a 302 and a Location?

[MrAlias]

Yeah, that would be great!

@chalin is this something we can do with hugo easily?

@open-telemetry/specs-semconv-maintainers @jsuereth: can we safely assume that the latest release of semconv (https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/releases/latest) for tag X.Y.Z can generally be assumed to mean that X.Y.Z is the latest schema? (I'm asking because, at some point in the recent past, we published schema 1.21.0 on the website when we shouldn't have.)

If so then yes, @svrnm and @MrAlias, I can add something to the auto-version update process to also create a redirect rule for https://opentelemetry.io/schemas/latest to be mapped to X.Y.Z, the latest semconv release.

Thoughts?

Actually, used another strategy, see:

• List available schemas in 404 response to /schemas #3469, which defines /schemas/latest is a redirect
