Description

Most of the observable technologies use some kind of ObservationConvention to customize names and tags of the created observations. In some cases we automatically register them if they are in the context, in other cases we don't. E.g. KafkaTemplateObservationConvention can be set on a KafkaTemplate, but we don't do that automatically.
