 ==== OpenTelemetry With OTLP
+Tracing with OpenTelemetry and reporting using OTLP requires the following dependencies:
 
-* `io.micrometer:micrometer-tracing-bridge-otel` - which is needed to bridge the Micrometer Observation API to OpenTelemetry.
-* `io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp` - which is needed to report traces to a collector that can accept OTLP.
