Unable to get opentelemetry's trace_id through MDC, even though MDC was working through logging.pattern.level

Question

I have integrated OpenTelemetry in my application and after following this https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/blob/main/docs/logger-mdc-instrumentation.md, I am able to inject the trace_id and other info in logs through logging.pattern.level = trace_id=%mdc{trace_id} span_id=%mdc{span_id} trace_flags=%mdc{trace_flags} %5p

But when tryinig to get these trace_id in my code through MDC.get("trace_id") I am gettting null.

This is my configuration.

plugins {

        dest project.buildDir.toString() + "/otel/opentelemetry-javaagent.jar"
        overwrite true
    }

I need fetch trace_id in code so that I can use in non-logging usecases.
