OTEL-074: service.telemetry.metrics.address (deprecated, use readers config)

Severity: warn (advisory)

Rule Details​

The old service.telemetry.metrics.address field is deprecated in favor of the newer service.telemetry.metrics.readers configuration, which supports multiple exporters (Prometheus, OTLP, file) and more expressive wiring. The old field still works but is scheduled for removal. Migrate to readers when you touch this block next.

This rule fires when service.telemetry.metrics.address is set.

Options​

This rule has no options.

Examples​

Avoid
service:
  telemetry:
    metrics:
      level: detailed
      address: "localhost:8888"
Prefer

                host: localhost
                port: 8888
