Pull request overview
This PR updates the AWS SDK v1.11 and v2.2 instrumentations to configure semantic-convention exception emission so that, when otel.semconv.exception.signal.preview=logs is enabled, exceptions can be emitted as log records (with appropriate event names/severity) instead of span events.
Changes:
- Configure RPC client exception log event naming/severity for the core AWS SDK client instrumenters.
- Configure messaging exception log event naming/severity for SQS receive/process/send instrumenters.
- Configure DB and GenAI exception log event naming/severity for DynamoDB and Bedrock Runtime instrumenters, and thread the exception customizer through the shared instrumenter factory helpers.
