In reply to Luis Klein. Yes, you can inject the Tracer bean.

Hello, there is a way to get the TraceId on line code? Someting like that:

@Autowired
private io.opentracing.Tracer tracer;

In reply to Bac. You also need to send traces and collect Prometheus metrics somehow. But there same as in that case, you may also use other to do it instead of the Grafana agent

Hello Piotr Minkowski

If I use com.github.loki4j.logback.Loki4jAppender to send logs to Loki directly, I don’t need to use Grafana Agent. Is it right?

In reply to Srikrishnan Raguraman. Thanks! I'm using otel bridge (`micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel`) on the app side for collecting traces. Then I need somehow send data to Grafana Cloud. Grafana Agent just starts zipkin on the default port and then send data to the cloud.

Good article.
Can you please throw light on why you chose grafana agent instead of open telemetry collector sending data using otel protocol
