# Spring Boot Resource Detector

<!-- llms-txt-link: /llms.txt -->

> OpenTelemetry Java agent instrumentation

This instrumentation automatically detects the `service.name` and `service.version` for Spring Boot applications and sets them as resource attributes.
It uses the following strategies (first successful wins):
  - Check for the SPRING_APPLICATION_NAME environment variable
  - Check for spring.application.name system property
  - Check for application.properties file on the classpath
  - Check for application.properties in the current working dir
  - Check for application.yml on the classpath
  - Check for application.yml in the current working dir
  - Check for --spring.application.name program argument (not jvm arg) via ProcessHandle
  - Check for --spring.application.name program argument via sun.java.command system property
