OTA_EXPORTER vs OTEL_*_EXPORTER

[alvin562]

What is the difference between the OTA_EXPORTER and OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER/OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER/OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER configuration properties? I can't find any info on OTA_EXPORTER but it seems it does something similar to the other properties.

Hey @alvin562 ,
We don't support a configuration setting named OTA_EXPORTER.

OTA_EXPORTER was used long long ago... (#841)

I see. So was OTA_EXPORTER an old config replaced by the OTEL configs? Just curious to know what it was used for as I see it being used in some old code. @trask
