Request for Message Flow Node Details to be included with OTEL data

Additional OTEL data details at the message flow node level would help us understand where processing time is spent inside the message flow.  This would help us understand poor performing nodes, optimize our message flows, and manage our resources effectively.   See attached image for the current situation in Instana.  All message flow processing except for the external service call is a black box.  A breakdown at the node level would be very helpful.

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this idea, which we agree would improve the product. Open Telemetry tracking has majorly focussed on transport interactions up to now, and we suspect that we would not want to enable EVERY ACE message flow node to emit Open Telemetry data as this would lead to unacceptable performance of the solution. However, we do see value in potentially including tansformation nodes such as the Compute node and JavaCompute node in particular, and then Discovery Connector nodes are also a potential future candidate (most likely after Kafka which is being tracked by a specific separate idea). Status of the suggestion is updated to Future Consideration.
