@ramgdev Would you be able to look at this?

[ramgdev]

Tried reproducing this with the code form main. I am getting an error

OpenTelemetry metrics error occurred. Metrics error: metrics provider already shut down

@TommyCpp does the example at opentelemetry-otlp/examples/basic-otlp-http require any other setup besides an otlp receiver & exporter?

[ramgdev]

If I enable http-json in opentelemetry-otlp/examples/basic-otlp-http/Cargo.toml, it then shows an additional error. I'll focus on this error first.

OpenTelemetry metrics error occurred. Metrics error: metrics provider already shut down
OpenTelemetry trace error occurred. HTTP status client error (400 Bad Request) for url (http://localhost:4318/v1/traces)
