Recommended action: In experimental mode set OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT=span_only (or event_only / span_and_event); in default mode set it to true and configure a logs/events exporter since content goes to events, not span attributes. Option: Pick the value matching your semconv mode [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: OpenAI/VertexAI OTel instrumentors Steps: 1. export OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=gen_ai_latest_experimental 2. export OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT=span_only Expected: gen_ai input/output message attributes on spans Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
