func NewExporterGRPCClient

func NewExporterGRPCClient(cfgs *configs.Configs) (*grpc.ClientConn, error)

NewExporterGRPCClient creates a new gRPC client connection for OpenTelemetry OTLP exporters with configurations optimized for telemetry data export. The connection is configured with:

• Insecure credentials (for non-TLS connections)
• Idle timeout from configuration
• Keepalive parameters for maintaining long-lived connections
• Exponential backoff strategy for reconnection attempts

Parameters:

• cfgs: Application configurations containing OTLP settings

Returns:

• *grpc.ClientConn: The configured gRPC client connection
• error: Any error encountered during connection setup
