Describe the issue you're reporting

What should be the value of storage ID as I am using otlpjson receiver and when I run it, it starts watching the mentioned json file but further it does not export anything to console as I am using debug exporter.
I noticed that the storage ID is nil, could that be the reason of not exporting data to console?

Hi @atoulme

This is my config.yaml file

receivers:
--otlpjsonfile:
-----include:

• "/Users/Documents/jsonFile.json"

exporters:
---debug:
------verbosity: detailed
------sampling_initial: 10
------sampling_thereafter: 50

service:
---pipelines:
------metrics:
--------receivers: [otlpjsonfile]
--------exporters: [debug]
---telemetry:
------logs:
--------level: debug

And I am getting the below messages on terminal on repeat:

@yasha145, are you willing to share your resolution to the issue?

Hi @djaglowski
The terminal was getting stuck because it was waiting for the new entry on the file, while I thought it was because of storageID is nil.
