Deprecated Attributes

These attributes are deprecated and should not be used in new code. See each attribute for migration guidance.

rpc.grpc.status_code Deprecated

integer Scrub: Manual Visibility: Public OTel: True

The numeric status code of the gRPC request.

Example 2
Aliases rpc.response.status_code

Use rpc.response.status_code instead.

Cannot be automatically backfilled due to type mismatch (integer vs string); rpc.grpc.status_code is a numeric gRPC status code while rpc.response.status_code is the string status name.
