Is there a way to trace calls to Neo4j using Open Telemetry in Java?

Is there a way to trace calls to Neo4j using Open Telemetry in Java?

If not, is this something on the roadmap for the driver?

If not, any tips for how we could implement this ourselves?

Hello, there is an OpenTracing community project around the Java driver: GitHub - opentracing-contrib/java-neo4j-driver: OpenTracing instrumentation for Neo4j Driver. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the pointer. While I guess it would be possible to hook that up to an Open Telemetry bridge, I don't think that will work when the rest of the app is using OTel rather OTracing. Perhaps it's a good starting point for an OTel fork, though.
