Description

What problem do you want to solve?

While using celery instrumentation, the instrumentation does not provide information about which backend is begin used.

Describe the solution you'd like
  • Check if it is feasible to add the instrumentation to figure out underlying backend (rabbitMQ, MongoDB, redis, etc)

  • Add the required instrumentation

  • This should be added as messaging.system attribute in Celery span attributes
