I found a solution to the problem…
Turns out you have to explicitly inject the tracer and context propagator into the OpenTelemetrySpanFactory and apply the configuration across all apps…
import io.opentelemetry.api.trace.Tracer
import io.opentelemetry.context.propagation.TextMapPropagator
import org.axonframework.tracing.SpanFactory
import org.axonframework.tracing.opentelemetry.OpenTelemetrySpanFactory
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration
@Configuration
class AxonConfig {
@Bean
fun spanFactory(tracer: Tracer, contextPropagator: TextMapPropagator): SpanFactory =
OpenTelemetrySpanFactory
.builder()
.tracer(tracer)
.contextPropagators(contextPropagator)
.build()
}
