+## Work with default OpenTelemetry labels
+
+OpenTelemetry metrics use resource attributes to describe the set of characteristics associated with a given resource, or entity, producing telemetry data. For example, a host resource might have multiple attributes, including an ID, an image, and a type.
+
+To optimize the storage of and ability to query this data, you can configure Mimir to promote specified OTel resource attributes to labels at the time of ingestion, with periods (`.`) replaced by underscores (`_`).
+
+Grafana Cloud automatically promotes the following OTel resource attributes to labels:
+
+- `service.instance.id`
+- `service.name`
+- `service.namespace`
+- `service.version`
+- `cloud.availability_zone`
+- `cloud region`
+- `container.name`
+- `deployment.environment.name`
+- `k8s.cluster.name`
+- `k8s.container.name`
+- `k8s.cronjob.name`
+- `k8s.daemonset.name`
+- `k8s.deployment.name`
+- `k8s.job.name`
+- `k8s.namespace.name`
+- `k8s.pod.name`
+- `k8s.replicaset.name`
+- `k8s.statefulset.name`
+

+
+Mimir stores additional OTel resource attributes in a separate series called `target_info`, which you can query using a join query or the Prometheus `info()` function. Refer to [Functions](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/functions/) in the Prometheus documentation for more information.

+To learn more about OpenTelemetry resource attributes, refer to [Resources](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/js/resources/) in the OpenTelemetry documentation.

 ## Format considerations
 
 We follow the official [OTLP Metric points to Prometheus](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/compatibility/prometheus_and_openmetrics/#otlp-metric-points-to-prometheus) specification.
