If no custom OpenTelemetry Collector configuration is provided, the otel service should automatically run using Checkmk’s default fallback configuration — as long as OPENTELEMETRY_COLLECTOR is enabled.
Previously, if you added a custom otel-collector configuration (for example, defining a receiver) and then removed it, the service would stop running entirely.
With this change, the otel-collector service now continues to run using default fallback configuration after a custom configuration is removed.
