Javaagent doesn't support otlphttp exporter

[coder-1111]

Hi,

I'm trying to auto instrument my java application. It is built on top of HTTP protocol (not grpc). So we need to configure otlphttp exporter for instrumentation. But I see that otlphttp isn't supported by javaagent. Are you planning to support this exporter or is their any other workaround for this usecase?

Agent's choice of exporter is totally independent from your application's protocols. As long as your destination supports OTLP (e.g. Otel Collector) you are fine.

But to answer your original question: we will add support of OTLP over HTTP when open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#3418 is merged.

ok got it. I will use another exporter. Thank you

@iNikem : It seems that the change to add support of OTLP over HTTP is merged in Opentelemetry/Java. But otlp over http exporter is still not available by default in OpenTelemetry Java Agent. I have tried with Open Telemetry Java Agent 1.5.3 but it seems this change is not present.
Is there a plan to put OTLP over HTTP exporter by default in java agent ?

hey @sumitm-iiit! I think that support was added to autoconfigure in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#3522, which will be in the upcoming Java SDK 1.6.0 and then Java Instrumentation 1.6.0
