Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently custom library is being used for tracking grpc requests, grpc-java in their latest release have added support for OpenTelemetry metrics. It would be simple and provide more information and if we use the new grpc-opentelemetry library instead.
Describe the solution you'd like
We should use the grpc-opentelemetry setup provided by grpc-java

Research direction
Review the current custom library used for tracking gRPC requests, then compare it with the grpc-opentelemetry setup in the linked grpc-java repository. Identify the project entry points and tests covering gRPC metrics before replacing the existing setup; done means the new library provides the required OpenTelemetry metrics without losing current tracking behavior.
