Not able to use OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_METHODS_INCLUDE to create separate spans for methods

[mvkrishna86]

Hi,
We are using auto instrumentation for our springboot services. And we are having some requirement to trace specific methods in the code. I tried by adding this environment variable (OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_METHODS_INCLUDE) with the classes and methods that we want to trace. But I dont see any spans created for those methods. Can someone help me here?

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS=x-scope-orgid=XXXXXXXXXX
OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_METHODS_INCLUDE=com.pkg.Class1[method1],com.pkg.Class2[method2]
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=service.name=SERVICE-NAME
OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=otlp
OTEL_PROPAGATORS=b3multi
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://grafana-agent:4317
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_COMMON_DB_STATEMENT_SANITIZER_ENABLED=false

hi @mvkrishna86! I think that should be a semicolon ; instead of a comma , e.g.

OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_METHODS_INCLUDE=com.pkg.Class1[method1];com.pkg.Class2[method2]
