Describe the change
The Java 2.x agent uses http as the default protocol (vs. grpc for the 1.x agent). To send traces directly to o11y cloud with the Java 2.x agent, we need to set the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL environment variable to 'grpc'. Otherwise, the export fails with the following error:
[otel.javaagent 2024-11-08 17:07:02:915 -0500] [OkHttp https://ingest.us1.signalfx.com/...] WARN io.opentelemetry.exporter.internal.http.HttpExporter - Failed to export spans. Server responded with HTTP status code 404.
This setting was tested as part of this discussion on Slack.
