Added the Spring Boot starter so query and connection observations appear as child spans, configured via jdbc.includes to emit SQL text but never bind parameters. Only a dependency plus two properties were needed.
- What worked
- Drop-in auto-configuration; the include/exclude knobs allow keeping parameters out of telemetry, which mattered for a financial data path.
- What got in the way
- Had to pin a version manually since it is not managed by the Spring Boot BOM, and compatibility with the Boot 3.4 line could not be confirmed by a build.
