This document defines the attributes used to
report a single exception associated with a span.
attributes:
- id: type
type: string
brief: >
The type of the exception (its fully-qualified class name, if applicable).
The dynamic type of the exception should be preferred over the static type
in languages that support it.
examples: ["java.net.ConnectException","OSError"]
- id: message
type: string
brief: The exception message.
examples: ["Division by zero","Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly"]
- id: stacktrace
type: string
brief: >
A stacktrace as a string in the natural representation for the language runtime.
The representation is to be determined and documented by each language SIG.
examples: 'Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Test exception\n
at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodB(GenerateTrace.java:13)\n
at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodA(GenerateTrace.java:9)\n

SHOULD be set to true if the exception event is recorded at a point where
it is known that the exception is escaping the scope of the span (e.g. if
there is an exception active just before ending the span). Note that an

exception may still leave the scope of the span even if this was not set
or set to false, if the event was recorded at an earlier time.
