@adinauer tracing for the Ktor http client requests would be great.
Like the one you offer for the Spring client

This would be relevant for both Android and Backend use cases

Hey everyone, we've just released 8.0.0-alpha.2 of the Java SDK, which has an improved version of our OpenTelemetry integration that supports ktor amongst many other libraries and frameworks. There's instructions how to upgrade in the changelog. If you decide to give it a try, any feedback is welcome 🙏 .

with #3752 will this be covered @adinauer ?

[adinauer]

@smeubank only the performance part of the integration will. We could also capture errors, assuming there's a central point where those go through, similar to Spring.
