In order to dynamically set the authorization header a new environment variable (
OTEL_AUTH_HEADER_EXTENSION
) is added. The value of the variable must point to a Class provided via entry points that implements this interface:For example for Google we'd do something like:
The advantage to this approach over this one is that the user would only have to specify one auth header extension and it'd automatically get loaded in to all their OTLP exporters, versus having to specify a bunch of custom exporters.
