The exporter is how data is sent to the Splunk AppDynamics backend. For Splunk AppDynamics for OpenTelemetry, only HTTP is supported to transmit OTLP trace export calls. Your tracer/SDKs exporter should be based on OTLP version >= 0.9.0.

In the exporters: otlphttp: section, you must configure the following attributes with the Splunk AppDynamics endpoint and API key:

exporters:
otlphttp:
endpoint: "<appd-endpoint>"
headers: {"x-api-key": "<x-api-key>"}

For more details on <x-api-key> and <appd-endpoint> see Resource Attribute Descriptions.

For more details on <appd-endpoint>, see Regions and Endpoints.
