That does seem odd. Based on https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/configuration/#environment-variables, that should work.

Might be related to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#7111?

Any ideas what might have caused $$ to not work anymore? I wonder if it could be related to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#10510?

If using the operator this could be it open-telemetry/opentelemetry-operator#3262 (comment)

@developer1622 I wasn't able to reproduce your issue locally. Are you running in kubernetes? If so you need to deal with the fact that k8s wants to escape $$ also, so you need $$$.
