some initial thoughts:

• how to customize the SDK that is used by the Java agent?
• how to redirect agent logs to a file?
• how to redirect agent logs to the application's logging framework?
• how to filter out noisy telemetry (e.g. health checks)?
• how to make calls between between application and agent extension classes?
• how can I know from application code if the OpenTelemetry Java Agent is running?

It could be helpful even if we just point to existing issues/discussions to start with.

cc @chalin @svrnm @cartermp do you have any thoughts whether something like this should live in this repo or in the website repo?

I would say that this should probably belong in the website docs, yeah. This feels more scenario-based, which is great! But we also don't have a good precedent for scenario-based docs like this aside from the sparse Python Cookbook. I'd be more than happy to shepherd in changes to the website for this.

@tsloughter made a similar suggestion a few weeks back, so yes, I also see this as part of the website repo. I think we need to find a way on how to distinguish "getting started" topics and more detailed topics
