Kafka Connect OpenTelemetry integration suggestions

Hi all, 



I'm currently running a Kafka Connect cluster within a Kubernetes environment (OpenShift).

Since I couldn't find much documentation on how to integrate, I integrated using the OpenTelemetry Java Agent [1], which seems to work.

That said, I still lack visibility into many Kafka-specific metrics, and I'm not sure if this is the best approach in general. 
If anyone has experience with this setup or can recommend a better way to monitor Kafka Connect in Kubernetes using OpenTelemetry, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.
