Integrate vertx database with OpenTelemetry and Splunk APM.

[edison-moreno]

We tried to integrate vertx with OpenTelemetry and Splunk APM, for a PostgreSQL database.

We are using vertx-pg-client and vertx-sql-client, and we have implemented a library that is in charge of making the connection, maintaining the pool and simply receiving and executing the SQL commands (Insert, Delete, Update, Select...) sent from the microservices that implement it.

We did a POC, and we found that these two vertx libraries do not auto-instrument, however, we have tested with vertx-jdbc-client and that library tracks and sends metrics to Splunk APM correctly.

Does anyone know about this situation, or a plan in the Opentelemetry project to include and support auto-instrumentation on the vertx-pg-client and vertx-sql-client?

Thanks for your information.
