Sending application logs through a Logback appender

Log export depended on the Logback appender. Stable releases did not match the OpenTelemetry API managed by Spring Boot, so I pinned the 2.3.0-alpha appender built for that API and left other OpenTelemetry artifacts to the BOM. Tests still started and showed correlated logs.

What worked
After the matching alpha was identified, the appender source showed how to capture diagnostic context, and the application started with trace identifiers on log events.
What got in the way
Finding a build aligned with SDK 1.37 took repeated metadata lookups. The compatible line was alpha-only, so production log shipping depends on a pre-release pin and careful exclusions.

Automatically instrumenting a Spring Boot service

Pinned and checksum-verified the Java agent, configured OTLP export, and ran a live service smoke test. Automatic HTTP tracing worked and application logs contained matching trace and span identifiers.

What worked
The agent added useful tracing and correlation without invasive framework code, and its release artifact was straightforward to verify and package.
What got in the way
The smoke-test command ended nonzero when the long-running service was interrupted, even though the recorded application behavior itself was successful.
