Fix NewConnectionError
in OpenTelemetry Python
✅ Solution
NewConnectionError usually indicates the exporter cannot connect to the specified backend endpoint. Verify the endpoint URL is correct and that the backend service is running and accessible from the host where the OpenTelemetry application is running; also ensure no firewall rules are blocking the connection. If you are only trying to disable exporting, explicitly set the exporter to `None` or remove its instantiation entirely.
