[dependabot]

Bumps go.opentelemetry.io/contrib from 1.43.0 to 1.44.0.

Changelog

Sourced from go.opentelemetry.io/contrib's changelog.

[1.44.0/2.5.1/0.69.0/0.37.1/0.24.0/0.19.0/0.16.1/0.16.0] - 2026-05-28

Added

• Add error.type attribute to http.client.request.duration for transport failures in otelhttp. (#8801)
• Add examples for prometheus compatibility document. (#8716)
• Add support for cardinality_limits in PeriodicMetricReader in otelconf. (#8885)
• Add Resource method to SDK in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/otelconf/x to expose the resolved SDK resource from declarative configuration. (#8913)
• Add go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/hetzner, a new resource detector for Hetzner Cloud servers, ported from github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/processor/resourcedetectionprocessor/internal/hetzner. Detects cloud.provider, cloud.platform, cloud.region, cloud.availability_zone, host.id, and host.name. (#8979)

Changed

• Set error field as record.SetErr instead of a plain attribute in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otellogrus. (#8776)
• Set the "error" field (e.g. created via zap.Error) as record.SetErr instead of a plain attribute in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otelzap. (#8719)
• Set fields implementing error interface from slog records as record.SetErr instead of plain attributes in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otelslog. (#8774)
• Set emitted errors in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/bridges/otellogr as record errors (Record.SetErr) instead of exception.message attributes. (#8775)

Fixed

• Fix header attributes lost when using sub-spans in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/httptrace/otelhttptrace. (#8797)
• Validate encoding configuration for OTLP HTTP exporters in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/otelconf. (#8772)
• Remove the custom body wrapper from the request's body after the request is processed to allow body type comparisons with the original type in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp and go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gorilla/mux/otelmux. (#6914)
• Unknown or empty HTTP methods now report "_OTHER" instead of "GET" across all HTTP instrumentations to align with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. (#8868)
• The default span name formatter in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp now conforms to the OpenTelemetry HTTP semantic conventions for server span names. (#8871)
  • The default span name is now {method} {route} (e.g. GET /foo/{id}) when a route pattern is available, or {method} (e.g. GET) otherwise.

Removed

• Remove the deprecated WithSpanOptions option in go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc. (#8991)
