-Dotel.exporter.otlp.traces.client.certificate / -Dotel.exporter.otlp.client.certificate

The path to the file containing trusted certificates used to verify the TLS credentials of an OTLP trace client. The file must contain one or more X.509 certificates in PEM format. This is required for mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.

Description
  • Required when the OpenTelemetry Collector is configured to authenticate connecting clients using certificates. This must be used in conjunction with -Dotel.exporter.otlp.traces.client.key or -Dotel.exporter.otlp.client.key.
  • If both are specified, then -Dotel.exporter.otlp.traces.client.certificate takes precedence.
  • This is a conditional system property, required when an mTLS connection is established with the OTel Collector.
