Other Spring autoconfiguration

Instead of using the OpenTelemetry Spring starter, you can use the OpenTelemetry Zipkin starter.

Zipkin starter

OpenTelemetry Zipkin Exporter Starter is a starter package that includes the opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk, opentelemetry-extension-annotations, opentelemetry-logging-exporter, opentelemetry-spring-boot-autoconfigurations and spring framework starters required to setup distributed tracing. It also provides the opentelemetry-exporters-zipkin artifact and corresponding exporter autoconfiguration.

If an exporter is present in the classpath during runtime and a spring bean of the exporter is missing from the spring application context, an exporter bean is initialized and added to a simple span processor in the active tracer provider. For more details, see the implementation (OpenTelemetryAutoConfiguration.java).
