How to check if the OpenTelemetry agent is still running through heartbeat detection? Does OpenTelemetry provide a probing interface? |

Transferring to opentelemetry-java-instrumentation, since this repo doesn't contain the agent. |

The otel java agent doesn't run as a separate process, so a traditional heartbeat isn't really applicable. If you haven't disabled the runtime-telemetry instrumentation, you should be able to reliably see runtime telemetry metrics exported on a regular interval. This can be used as a sort of heartbeat. |
