Description

Added service_name configuration for GitHub actions and clarified precedence for setting service.name.

Link to tracking issue

Fixes #44072

Documentation

The docs are:

  • Explicitly stating what service.name represents per the OTel Resource semantic conventions.
  • Recommending an explicit service_name (e.g., github-actions) for CI platforms.
  • Positioning the repo-derived default as a convenience for small setups—not as a best practice for larger organizations.
  • Showing how to use repository Custom Properties only when distinct repos truly map to distinct services.

Added service_name configuration for GitHub actions and clarified precedence for setting service.name.
