Description

There are three lines related to configuration within the spec compliance matrix:

  • Configuration is managed solely by the MeterProvider
  • The MeterProvider provides methods to update the configuration
  • The updated configuration applies to all already returned Meters

For reference, here's the Metrics SDK spec for MeterProvider: Configuration
