OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL - UFTP configuration option

Description

The OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL option specifies a value for the protocol used to export traces from UFTP.

tip

This functionality can also be configured using OpenTelemetry's own environment variables, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL or OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL. However, this configuration option takes precedence over those. If you wish to configure this functionality using OpenTelemetry, then you must leave the OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL option unspecified.
