Description

Now that we have metrics... we can have metrics about the metrics! (and the logs and the spans.)

See Semantic conventions for OpenTelemetry SDK metrics

This document describes metrics emitted by the OpenTelemetry SDK components themselves about their internal state.

For example, otel.sdk.processor.log.queue.size - The number of log records in the queue of a given instance of an SDK log processor.

Research direction

Start with the linked Semantic Conventions for OpenTelemetry SDK metrics document and identify the internal metrics required for the SDK's metrics, logs, and spans. Use the example otel.sdk.processor.log.queue.size as a reference, then determine the affected SDK components and how completion will be verified against the conventions.
