Hosted Metrics/Mimir support for OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Scope

Grafana Cloud

I’m pushing some metrics created via the opentelemetry-python sdk into Grafana Cloud via the OpenTelemetry Collector otlp receiver and otlphttp exporter.

I’ve familiarized myself with most details on how OTLP metrics are converted to Prometheus-style metrics I can view from Grafana Cloud by reading:

but I still have one point of confusion, which is what happens to the instrumentation scope of my metrics.

According to the specification at the above link,

Prometheus exporters SHOULD generate an Info-typed metric named otel_scope_info for each Instrumentation Scope with non-empty scope attributes …
Prometheus exporters MUST add the scope name as the otel_scope_name label and the scope version as the otel_scope_version label on all metric points by default, based on the scope the original data point was nested in.

If I configure a ConsoleMetricExporter for my test application, I can see

{
    "resource_metrics": [
       [...]
            "scope_metrics": [
                {
                    "scope": {
                        "name": "test.meter.name",
                        "version": "0.1",
                        "schema_url": "",
                        "attributes": null
                    },
                    "metrics": [
       [...]
    ]
}

Is there a way to query that information from hosted metrics/mimir? I don’t see a otel_scope_name label on my metric or an otel_scope_info info metric, but I could very well be misunderstanding the specification. Thanks for your help!

My opentelemetry-collector config is very simple, but here it is in case it’s relevant:

extensions:
  basicauth/grafana_cloud:
    client_auth:
      username: ${env:GRAFANA_USER}
      password: ${env:GRAFANA_PASSWORD}

receivers:
  otlp:
    protocols:
      grpc:

processors:
  batch:

exporters:
  otlphttp/grafana_cloud:
    endpoint: "https://otlp-gateway-prod-eu-west-2.grafana.net/otlp"
    auth:
      authenticator: basicauth/grafana_cloud

service:
  extensions: [basicauth/grafana_cloud]
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [otlp]
