OpenTelemetry Auto-Instrumentation + LogicMonitor Collector? | Product Discussions

I'm presently looking into the subject of APM and OpenTelemetry - I'm in a part of the network where I do not directly interact with any applications (outside of collecting metrics from them), and I have been tossing around the idea of going down the OpenTelemetry idea since the Elevate conference. Someone kindly informed me of the existence of automatic instrumentation that is available through OpenTelemetry (For reference: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/java/automatic/). What I DON'T have is an application with which to test this. If I understand correctly, LogicMonitor's agents run on Java (at least, according to the many JAR files used to run the agents :)/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />), and I was wondering if anyone had considered testing APM/OpenTelemetry with the LogicMonitor collector agent. Is this in anyway possible? Has anyone tossed the idea around at all? I don't really know the first thing about getting data out of OpenTelemetry, so I'm tossing around some ideas to help reduce the lift to getting this off the ground -- My last ditch effort would be to simply develop a small application that performs some very simple operations, and to simply wrap the OpenTelemetry JAR around the JVM -- If I can avoid that, I would like to, as I imagine I won't be getting the _true_ APM experience in that case :)/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />
