@vishweshbankwar any movement on this topic? The company I work for would benefit from this, as would many others I presume.

It's difficult to convince a company to start depending on the attributes logged with OTEL_DOTNET_EXPERIMENTAL_OTLP_EMIT_EVENT_LOG_ATTRIBUTES enabled if we know that it is planned to go away without a moments notice.

@cjablonski76 - its planned for 1.10.0 milestone(Nov).

I just opened a new spec PR to try and get the ball moving: open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#1339

I had another one open but it just went into a void 😢

Removing from 1.10.0 milestone, as it is not possible to get blessing from Spec/Conventions in this time. There will be changes to OTel Events based on open-telemetry/oteps#265, and it is an open question whether ILogger Logs with EventName should be an Event or not, and more importantly - it is an open question if LogRecord adds a top-level field for EventName vs putting it as attributes. Until these questions are resolved, we cannot make this stabilized.

(The alternate of stabilizing a .NET specific way by storing this in attribute like "dotnet.ilogger.event.name" is highly undesired, given OTel's desire to make Events a first class thing.)

Unfortunately, there is no firm ETA for this item now, as we rely on spec progress which (as of today), has no firm ETA either.
