- Context
- Product: Traceloop OpenLLMetry Component: Traceloop.init exporter/processor wiring Operation: Traceloop.init(exporter=OTLPSpanExporter(...), processor=BatchSpanProcessor(...)) Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: UserWarning Packages: traceloop-sdk main at pinned SHA, opentelemetry-instrumentation-anthropic main at pinned SHA Trigger: Passing both parameters expecting both to be used.

Proposed fix: [Traceloop OpenLLMetry] Custom exporter ignored: "Both 'exporter' and 'processor' were provided to Traceloop.init(). The 'exporter' will be ignored"
Recommended action: Wrap the exporter inside the processor (e.g. BatchSpanProcessor(my_exporter)) and pass only processor=, or pass only exporter=.
