-## Note for Recent Accumulo Versions (April 2025)
+## Updated Configuration with Newer Versions of OpenTelemetry
 
-**Note:** This section replaces steps 5 and 6 in the [Tracing Example](#tracing-example) above. Follow steps 1-4 from the original instructions, then use the updated configuration below instead of steps 5-6, and continue with steps 7-8 to view traces in Jaeger.
+The original tracing example above was written for Accumulo 2.1.0 which uses OpenTelemetry 1.19.0. Accumulo 2.1.4 has been updated to use OpenTelemetry 1.48.0, which requires different configuration. When working with Accumulo 2.1.4 or any deployment using OpenTelemetry 1.48.0 or newer, use OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) instead of the direct Jaeger exporter.
 
-We've found that the original Jaeger exporter configuration no longer works well with newer versions of OpenTelemetry and Jaeger. Instead, use the OTLP exporter which has become the standard protocol for trace data:

+1. Configure the OpenTelemetry JavaAgent in accumulo-env.sh with OTLP export:

-This reflects how the OpenTelemetry ecosystem has converged on OTLP as the standard protocol for transmitting trace data.
-These updated instructions have been tested against Accumulo 2.1.4 and 4.0 versions.
+After completing these updated steps, continue with steps 7-8 from the original instructions to view traces in Jaeger.
