You can use two options to instrument Spring Boot applications with OpenTelemetry.

  1. The default choice for instrumenting Spring Boot applications is the OpenTelemetry Java agent with bytecode instrumentation:
    • More out of the box instrumentation than the OpenTelemetry starter
  2. The OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter can help you with:
    • Spring Boot Native image applications for which the OpenTelemetry Java agent does not work
    • Startup overhead of the OpenTelemetry Java agent exceeding your requirements
    • A Java monitoring agent already used because the OpenTelemetry Java agent might not work with the other agent
    • Spring Boot configuration files (application.properties, application.yml) to configure the OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter which doesn't work with the OpenTelemetry Java agent
