Do we have trace exporters to export trace to Google cloud while we are using OpenTelemetry Java agent ?

[Santosh-Kumar-Perumal]

I can export traces to Google Cloud by utilizing the Google Cloud exporter when I manually instrument the code. I need clarification on which exporter value to specify at runtime if I opt to use the OpenTelemetry Java agent for auto-instrumentation. -Dotel.traces.exporter

moving to the instrumentation repo where the agent lives

hi @Santosh-Kumar-Perumal! check out https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-java/blob/main/exporters/auto/README.md

Sorry @trask for multiple questions do you mean to say I need to use the second dependency and not the first one in my pom.xml and in args or do I need to refer both in pom.xml as well as args ?

hey @Santosh-Kumar-Perumal, I think these are better questions for GCP if you are having trouble with these instructions: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-java/blob/main/exporters/auto/README.md

Thanks a lot for you response @trask their GIthub project don't have a discussion section but will see if I can figure out a way.

I'd suggest just opening an issue, they are nice people (cc @psx95 @jsuereth 😉)

Thanks @trask

Hi @Santosh-Kumar-Perumal feel free to open an issue with details in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-java repo if you're unable to export traces to GCP.

For reference, we also have an auto-instrumentation example that uses OTel Java agent and Auto-configuration.
