Manually or zero-code mongodb tracing with spring boot and micrometer

[jeusdi]

How can I configure Spring Boot 3 with Micrometer tracing to send traces to X-Ray instead of Jaeger, and also enable instrumentation to generate traces for communication with MongoDB, which I currently don't see visualized?

Here my current related dependencies I'm using:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
		<groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
		<artifactId>micrometer-tracing</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Adds the Tracer Implementation -->
<dependency>
		<groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
		<artifactId>micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Adds an exporter to store the traces -->
<dependency>
	<groupId>io.opentelemetry</groupId>
	<artifactId>opentelemetry-exporter-otlp</artifactId>
</dependency>

It's not clear to my how to manually instrumenting my project in order to generate mongodb traces.

Any ideas?

I'm moving this over to the instrumentation repository, as it seems to primarily be an instrumentation question.

@jeusdi you should ask this question from micrometer tracing community.

another option is to use the OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter which includes automatic mongodb tracing in the latest 2.4.0 release
