``max_recv_msg_size_mib`` of otlp receiver <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/config/configgrpc/README.md#server-configuration>

I have updated the otel-collector-config.yaml with
receivers.otlp.protocols.grpc.max_recv_msg_size_mib: 100, restarted the containers with docker compose down/up, but the problem continues.

To add some context, all 3 applications are running in the same VM server, but on different tomcat instances.

Lower the agent batch size to export most frequently and check.

otel.bsp.max.export.batch.size or otel.blrp.max.export.batch.size? or both?

You might have to tweak both. How many spans does your app roughly produce? You need to adjust the settings, or you could drop the spans with head-based sampling if the volume and size are big.

This app is generating like 2220 spans per minute. There are some operations that generates 28000+ spans. I can't even open the Trace Detail page because the browser can't handle that number of elements and will freeze.
