message ProcessContext

process_context.proto:40

ProcessContext represents the payload for the process context sharing mechanism. This message is designed to be published by OpenTelemetry SDKs via a memory-mapped region, allowing external readers (such as the OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler) to discover and read resource attributes from instrumented processes without requiring direct integration or process activity. It is not part of OTLP and is not exchanged via the OpenTelemetry Collector. See OTEP 4719 (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/oteps/profiles/4719-process-ctx.md) for details of this mechanism. Status: [Development]
