  "brief": "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.",
  "type": "boolean",
  "pii": {
    "key": "false"
  },

  "example": true
}

`exception.message`

The error message.

Example ENOENT: no such file or directory

  "is_in_otel": true,
  "example": "ENOENT: no such file or directory"
}

`exception.stacktrace`

string PII: Maybe OTel: True

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.

Example

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Test exception
 at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodB(GenerateTrace.java:13)
 at com.example.GenerateTrace.methodA(GenerateTrace.java:9)
 at com.example.GenerateTrace.main(GenerateTrace.java:5)

  "type": "string",
  "pii": {
    "key": "maybe"
  },

}

`exception.type`
