Description

Problem Statement

Hyperdx allows overriding the service.name for Hyperdx's own telemetry by setting NEXT_PUBLIC_OTEL_SERVICE_NAME in the env vars (Although this is not clearly documented anywhere).

But afaik there is to specify additional resource attributes for the hyperdx frontend app. We would like to be able to set the following attributes: service.namespace, service.version, deployment.environment

Things that I have tried and did not work

I tried setting NEXT_PUBLIC_OTEL_SERVICE_NAMESPACE:xyz or OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES:service.namespace=xyz or NEXT_PUBLIC_OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES:service.namespace=xyz but I did not see those being added to the otel request payload for metrics/logs/traces.

Configuration

Version: 2.16.0

Research direction

Start by locating the hyperdx-frontend telemetry configuration and the existing NEXT_PUBLIC_OTEL_SERVICE_NAME handling. Check how resource attributes reach metrics, logs, and traces, then verify that the requested service.namespace, service.version, and deployment.environment values are configurable and present in the telemetry payloads.
