Which statement best summarises a correct OpenTelemetry configuration for Instana?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You need a reachable ingestion endpoint, trace context that survives every hop, and spans that land in Instana's service model. If any of those break, the traces won't show up right.
Full Explanation
The correct statement is that exporters point at a reachable ingestion endpoint, trace context is preserved at every hop, and spans are mapped into Instana's service model. These conditions - reachability, propagation, and correct mapping - turn exported spans into usable traces. The claim that the backend discovers data without further configuration is wrong because ingestion needs an explicitly configured endpoint. The claim that a gateway removes context headers before forwarding spans is wrong because that breaks correlation across the gateway. The claim that exporters send to a standard port while firewall rules are a later concern is wrong because a blocked port means no data arrives. For the exam, state all three requirements.
