After upgrade to 3.4.0 Opentelemetry traces do not work with io.awspring.cloud.sqs.annotation.SqsListener;

[itzYubi]

Type: Bug

Component:
"SQS"

Describe the bug
We are using Opentelemetry java agent v2.16.0.
After upgrading spring cloud AWS to 3.4.0 from 3.2.1, we observed that traces are not working when we Listen for SQS events through io.awspring.cloud.sqs.annotation.SqsListener;

FYI we initially thought it had something to do with open telemetry upgrade from 2.10.0 to 2.16.0 but we saw that the issue is due to spring cloud aws upgrade.
Sample
Need to setup as simple Sqs listener to listen for sqs messages.
Need to have opentelemetry JAR in the deployment
Check logs for traces received.

Hi @itzYubi,

I wasn’t aware that OpenTelemetry had instrumented our SQS integration via their Java Agent, thanks for flagging that.

We introduced native support for OpenTelemetry and other observability tools in 3.4.0, using Micrometer. If you're interested, it’s as simple as adding the appropriate OTel dependencies, more details here.

That said, it looks like their agent currently targets version 3.0.0 of Spring Cloud AWS (reference). It might be worth opening an issue on their side to request an update.

I’d be happy to help coordinate with the OTel team to ensure things stay aligned, feel free to loop me in if that would be helpful.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the response @tomazfernandes !!

I opened a ticket on the OTEL java instrumentation project: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation#14249

Thank you for looking into it!
