# Auto-instrumentation for Apache DBCP Provides OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation for [Apache DBCP](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/). This auto-instrumentation uses `MBeanRegistration` methods for lifecycle detection, therefore it only activates if the `BasicDataSource` is registered to an `MBeanServer`. If using Spring Boot, this happens automatically as all Spring beans that support JMX registration are automatically registered by default.
