Unable to produce db.client.operation.duration metrics

[cyrille-leclerc]

Describe the bug

Unable to produce db.client.operation.duration metrics that are supposed to be introduced in opentelemetry-jva-instrumentation v2.11 through #12806 .
None of export OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=database and -Dotel.semconv-stability.opt-in=database works to enable this metric.

Steps to reproduce

• Use a demo java jdbc app like https://github.com/cyrille-leclerc/my-shopping-cart/tree/5a8839e7ca376d43097625f176277da294a1f996/frontend (startup command here)
• Instrument the application with otel-java-instrumentation v2.11 and send metrics to a backend like Prometheus
• Activate new OTel DB metrics with any of -Dotel.semconv-stability.opt-in=database and export OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=database
• Start the application and generate traffic
• Verify that
  • some DB client spans are produced
  • the otel instrumentation version is v2.11, for xample looking at the resource attribute telemetry.distro.version=2.11.0 on the spans

Expected behavior

The histogram metric db.client.operation.duration is produced.

Actual behavior

The metric db.client.operation.duration is missing.

Other db.client.* metrics are available: db.client.connections.create_time (histogram in ms), db.client.connections.idle.min (gauge), db.client.connections.pending_requests (gauge), db.client.connections.use_time (histogram in ms), db.client.connection.wait_time (histogram in ms)

Javaagent or library instrumentation version

v2.11.0

Environment

JDK:

OpenJDK Runtime Environment 17.0.13+0

OS:
MacOS 15.2

i haven't had a chance to run your reproducer to validate that this fixes it, but I noticed that you are setting the -Dotel.semconv-stability.opt-in flag twice, once on line 150 and then again on line 156, and the one on line 156 doesn't include the database opt-in.

Great catch @jaydeluca , thank you very much. My config was wrong with an invalid second declaration of -Dotel.semconv-stability.opt-in
