Enabling tracing in Spring RSocket client

There is a RSocket server which I am interacting with. This RSocket server has tracing enabled.

Meaning, when I, and actually other clients talk to it, I can see server side traces in Grafana Cloud Tempo for instance. However, only the server side traces are present.

As a RSocket Client, I would also like to instrument my code to send traces to the same Grafana instance.

Here is what I tried:

package com.borrelunde.stockclient;

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnMissingBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;
import org.springframework.messaging.rsocket.RSocketRequester;
import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;

/**
 * @author B. Lunde
 * @since 2025.03.04
 */
@Configuration
public class ClientConfiguration {


    @Bean
    @Profile("rsocket")
    public StockClient rSocketStockClient(final RSocketRequester rSocketRequester) {
        return new RSocketStockClient(rSocketRequester);
    }

    @Bean
    public RSocketRequester rSocketRequester(RSocketRequester.Builder builder) {
        return builder.tcp("server", 7000);
    }

}

And I updated the pom as follow:

Please note, actuator, exporter OTLP and bridge OTEL are all present.

Even with the above setup, I am not able to see any traces.

What am I doing wrong, how can I send traces from a RSocket client?
