OTL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT

[georges-git]

Hello @mxiamxia - I have an application running in the docker on ec2 and OTEL agent running as separate process on same ec2 instance. here is my snippet from config.yaml for OTEL agent running on ec2.
receivers:
otlp:
protocols:
grpc:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:55680
http:
endpoint: 0.0.0.0:55681

I set OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:55680 which means the otel agent will send the traces to xray using grpc protocol. Is that correct understanding?

Hi George, yes. OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:55680 will go with gRPC per your setting.
