The public OpenTelemetry conventions page told customers that peer.service draws service map edges. It doesn't, so anyone following it added the attribute and still got no edges. This PR rewrites the section to match the code, and fixes other claims on the page that no longer held.

Service Map

  • Edges: a Client/Producer span joined to its child Server/Consumer span in the callee. The page now explains the two requirements: the callee is instrumented, and the caller propagates traceparent.
  • Database nodes: keyed on db.system.name + db.namespace, with the db.name and server.address fallbacks.
  • External nodes: new table for nodes keyed on messaging.*, rpc.* and server.address.
  • Canonical spelling: the rule now covers db.system.name, messaging.system and rpc.system.
  • The Span Kinds and Database tables are updated to match.

Source: packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/service-map.ts. Wording matches the corrected maple-audit MAP checks in #1065.

Other corrections

  • Retention: traces and logs are kept 30 days, not 90. Metrics are kept 90 days, not 365. These are the raw table TTLs in datasources.ts, and 30 days matches the pricing page's RETENTION_DAYS.
  • Cache spans: detected by cache.system or cache.result only, not by any cache.* attribute.
  • Error banner: it's in the log detail panel. It collapses past 3 lines or 160 characters, with a "Show more" toggle.
  • Log chips: log rows show every non-hidden chip ordered by score, not the "top 4".
  • Status badges: 3xx is blue and 1xx-2xx is green.
  • Status codes: Maple's ingest converts the OTLP status enum. The page credited the Collector.
  • Metrics: summary points are dropped at ingest.
  • Keys: they live under Settings → Ingestion, as maple_pk_ (public) and maple_sk_ (server). The EU endpoint is listed.
  • Platform badges: reduced to the ones that exist (Cloudflare, Lambda, Kubernetes).
  • k8s: k8s.job.name and k8s.cluster.name don't join to service.name.
  • Wording: em dashes removed. The third-party vendor example URL and comparison are gone.

Formatted with oxfmt. Not verified, so left as written: severity colors in the trace timeline, and the claim that only Error spans appear in error analytics.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified ingest key types and EU endpoints, including guidance to use public keys in browser and mobile apps and keep server keys in runtime secrets or environment variables.
    • Expanded OpenTelemetry guidance for status conversion, span kinds, service-map relationships, and database, messaging, RPC, host, and cache identification.
    • Updated reference details for HTTP badges, error banners, Kubernetes and platform mappings, chip visibility and scoring, and resource attributes.
    • Documented that summary metric data points are unsupported and dropped, and clarified retention: 7 days for Starter, 30 days for Startup, and custom retention for Enterprise.

… conventions page

The Service Map section told customers that peer.service draws edges.
Edges come from a Client/Producer span joined to its child Server/Consumer
span in the callee, so the section now explains trace-context propagation,
db.system.name + db.namespace database nodes, and external nodes keyed on
messaging, rpc and server.address.

Other fixes checked against the code: retention is 30 days for traces and
logs and 90 for metrics; cache spans are detected by cache.system or
cache.result only; the error banner collapses past 3 lines or 160
characters; log rows show every chip; ingest converts status codes; keys
live under Settings > Ingestion; platform badges limited to what exists.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: jeremyfunk

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb68a

Revise the key and retention guidance before merging: following the examples can put private keys in committed source, and users may rely on incorrect data-deletion windows. The database guidance also needs to account for duplicate service-map edges.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fb68a

The update clarifies which ingest keys belong in browsers and on servers and corrects published retention periods. No new authentication behavior or data-retention setting was found, but the guidance has not been verified against every client integration path.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A public ingest key is intended to be visible to users of its browser or mobile client. The inspected resolver associates a valid key with one organization; the reviewed change does not show an expansion of that authority. Complete downstream permissions were not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The revised guidance separates intentionally client-visible public keys from server-side private keys. The linked reference agrees, while the existing resolver selects distinct public and private key-hash columns.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Clarify whether the public retention table applies to raw signals only: inspected trace- and log-derived hourly aggregates have 365-day TTLs. Confirm that per-language bootstrap examples preserve the documented public-client/private-server key distinction.

### 2. Database nodes

Pair `db.system.name` with `peer.service` on the same `Client` span — both are required. The map aggregates by `db.system.name`, so multiple services calling the same database land on a single shared node. (The legacy `db.system` spelling is also accepted as a fallback.)
Set `db.system.name` and `db.namespace` on database `Client` spans. The legacy `db.system` spelling is also accepted. Maple keys each database node on the pair, so services that call the same database share one node.

```
SELECT * FROM users (span.kind=Client, db.system.name=postgresql, peer.service=postgresql)
└──> draws an edge api → postgresql DB node
SELECT * FROM users (span.kind=Client, db.system.name=postgresql, db.namespace=users_db)
└──> draws an edge api → postgresql users_db
```

### 3. Pick canonical names
Without `db.system.name`, the call renders as a generic external host. Without `db.namespace`, Maple falls back to the legacy `db.name`, then to the host (`server.address`). With none of these set, every database behind that driver collapses into one node.

Use the coalesced database-system predicate for external edges.

The documentation accepts legacy db.system, but serviceExternalEdgesSQL excludes only spans with db.system.name. A Client or Producer span with only db.system=postgresql can therefore appear as both a database edge and an HTTP external edge. Missing db.namespace does not cause this type change; the database query applies the documented namespace fallback.

Suggested fix
-				attr("db.system.name").eq(""),
+				dbSystemExpr($).eq(""),

Valid bug, but not fixed here: the same db.system.name = '' predicate lives in service_external_edges_hourly_mv (migration 0020), and the rollup splices MV and raw rows, so changing only serviceExternalEdgesSQL would make them disagree. It needs a CH migration plus a local-schema bump; tracked as a separate change. Diagram fences now carry a text language (MD040).

@Makisuo, thanks for the clarification. I verified that migration 0020 uses db.system.name = '' in service_external_edges_hourly_mv. The raw external-edge query uses the same predicate, while the database-edge query accepts legacy db.system. A fix needs to keep the materialized view and raw query consistent. I also verified the text diagram fences.

The database-system finding remains open for the separate change.

Learning: In Maple's ClickHouse service map, `packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/service-map.ts` combines hourly materialized-view rows with raw trace rows for `serviceExternalEdgesSQL()`. When changing the database-system exclusion predicate, update both the raw query and the `service_external_edges_hourly_mv` definition through a ClickHouse migration, with the corresponding local-schema version bump. Migration 0020 currently excludes only `db.system.name`, while database edges also accept legacy `db.system`.

Retention is plan-based (7 days Starter, 30 Startup, custom Enterprise),
not a flat table. Server setups load the private key from a secret or
env var; only the public key is safe to ship. Bare code fences get a

Warning

This review ended early; what follows is what it established.

Repoints the two remaining @effect-agent/core/AgentError imports in the PR-review failure path to effect-agent/agent-error, completing the beta.142 package migration, and rewrites the OTel conventions page. The code change is a pure specifier swap and is safe to merge.

  • review-failure.ts and its test import agent errors from effect-agent/agent-error
What was checked
  • Migration commit a8fb51a moved every import to kebab-case effect-agent/* paths but omitted review-failure.ts; this diff is the leftover
  • context_lines 0 grep for @effect-agent across **/package.json returns no matches, so no old package name remains declared
  • apps/ai/package.json:29 pins effect-agent 0.1.0-beta.142, matching the lockfile entry the new specifier resolves against
