Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a user of otel collector, I find it hard to see which exporter helper component is stuck starting up or shutting down. Some of the examples in the past:

When debugging these problems, it isn't clear that the components are stuck.

Describe the solution you'd like
A debug message is added at the beginning of startup/shutdown and at the end of the startup/shutdown. Components we should add:

  • retry sender
  • batch sender
  • queue sender

Describe alternatives you've considered
Add it as INFO logs but it can be too noisy
