OpenTelemetry: How to suppress the logs emitting from opentelemetry-javaagent

[sivaponting]

Here is the use-case,
We are using opentelemetry-instrumentation to monitor our application. We have extentions to capture the Apache-Spark logs.
Now it's capturing both the application logs as well as spark logs.

otel.logs.exporter=otlp
otel.traces.exporter=otlp
otel.metrics.exporter=otlp

Is thr any mechanism to suppress only application logs?

moving this question over to the instrumentation repo

@sivaponting

-> use otel.logs.exporter=none

[sivaponting]

I don't want to suppress the entire log. Want to suppress only particular package name or scope name

[trask]

there is recently added specification to support disabling loggers per scope name: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/logs/sdk.md#loggerconfigurator

but it still needs to be added to declarative configuration and to Java SDK

in the meantime, you would need to write an agent extension
