Go runtime metrics

APM Go Library versions 1.3.0 and later

OTel semantic Go runtime metrics are collected by the runtime instrumentation bundled by the APM Go library. The metrics are all prefixed with go.*.

The metric names and attributes are subject to change due to unstable semantic conventions.

APM Go Library versions earlier than 1.3.2

The legacy Go runtime metrics are gathered from the standard library’s runtime package and reported by the library at an interval. Reporting is enabled by default and makes available the metrics described below. To disable reporting, refer to the option SW_APM_RUNTIME_METRICS in Configure the Go Library.

Metric	Description
trace.go.runtime.*	Go runtime statistics data, including number of goroutines and number of Cgo calls.
trace.go.gc.*	Go garbage collection details.
trace.go.memory.*	Heap and non-heap memory details.
