I have thought about that before, but I was blocked by the really poor file support for OTel. I couldn't find an easy way to dump a file from the collector running in my CI job and load it on my laptop for analysis, which is the way I would like to go.

Maybe this has changed?

And the receiver: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co...

I'll have to try this!

edit: actually Jaeger can just read those files directly, so no need to run a collector with the receiver. This is great!
