Suppress auto-generated attributes of each span

[itsmaneesh]

Hi,
We are seeing an increase in the size (in bytes) of each span using OpenTelemetry i.e.: Earlier the span data size was in around 1KB and now it has increased by an additional 1.5x as ~ 2.4KB and this is contributing to more disk space usage.
There is a lot of duplicate data across the spans (under the same trace Id) in Tags and Process sections on Jaeger UI.

Is there way to suppress / disable such duplicate data being attached to each span? Or solution to reduce this situation.

@mateuszrzeszutek I am using v1.10.0 - Java agent.

[mateuszrzeszutek]

That's a rather old version; looks like the OTEL_JAVA_ENABLED_RESOURCE_PROVIDERS property was introduced in v.1.13.0. Can you try using the latest javaagent and see if it works?

@mateuszrzeszutek Got it. Will try this OTEL_JAVA_ENABLED_RESOURCE_PROVIDERS variable with v1.13.0.
Meanwhile, can you please let me know whether we can disable telemetry.* attributes? If so, how to disable telemetry.* attributes using Java agent v1.10.0?
I couldn't find the relevant package in this list : https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/blob/main/sdk-extensions/resources/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/io.opentelemetry.sdk.autoconfigure.spi.ResourceProvider

No, the telemetry.* attributes are always added by the SDK, they're not configurable.

Thank you.
