-If configured to do so, the collector also emits traces for the execution of OTTL statement sequences.
-These traces contain spans for the execution of each statement, including the statement itself and whether it has
-been applied or not. To make use of this, enable the self monitoring of the collector by setting the
-`--feature-gates=telemetry.useOtelWithSDKConfigurationForInternalTelemetry` flag, and using the following configuration
-to export the traces to e.g. an OTLP API endpoint:
-
-```yaml
-service:
-  telemetry:
-    traces:
-      processors:
-        - batch:
-            exporter:
-              otlp:
-                protocol: http/protobuf
-                endpoint: ${env:OTLP_ENDPOINT}/v1/traces
-```
