Not able to add custom dimensions to spanner metrics

[siddhant16]

Hello Team,

I'm creating java-spanner client and using the PrometheusHttpServer as the metrics collector.

        PROMETHEUS_SERVER = PrometheusHttpServer.builder().setPort(portNumber).build();

I want to add custom dimensions to SDK provided metrics and for that I'm using the Resource like below,

    SpannerOptions.enableOpenTelemetryMetrics();

    Resource resource = Resource.getDefault().merge(Resource.create(Attributes.of(
        SERVICE_NAME, MY_SERVICE_NAME,
        SERVICE_VERSION, "1.0.0"
    )));

    SdkMeterProvider sdkMeterProvider =
        SdkMeterProvider.builder()
       .setResource(resource)
       .registerMetricReader(PROMETHEUS_SERVER)
       .build();

    OpenTelemetry openTelemetry =
        OpenTelemetrySdk.builder().setMeterProvider(sdkMeterProvider).build();

    optionsBuilder.setOpenTelemetry(openTelemetry);

However, when I start my application, I'm not able to see any custom dimensions attached to the SDK metrics.

Only I see 1 data which is not the SDK metric

This is working as expected, since all the metrics exported will have your defined resource attributes (https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/resources/#introduction).

Can you tell me what was your expectations? Were you expecting the attributes to be added in all the metrics?
