Was anyone able to get istio tracing to work?

I followed all the steps in the below documentation but I still am not able to view the istio traces.

> **[Configure OpenTelemetry tracing with Istio](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/opentelemetry/integrations/istio#get-configuration-entries)**
>
> Configure Istio to export OpenTelemetry traces to Dynatrace using the Istio OpenTelemetry extension provider, in a standalone deployment or with Dynatrace Operator.

this is quite a broad topic area; have you looked at these recently published guides
