Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I was able to patch the instrument and generate metrics with logging exporter. I can see the metrics in cloudwatch console. Now I change the exporter to awsemf but I do no see the new log group being created.

Steps to reproduce If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.

Change the default exporter to awsemf

To prove that it is using the exporter, i see these logs in my lambda

{
    "level": "info",
    "ts": 1706941601.1228578,
    "logger": "NewCollector",
    "msg": "Using config URI from environment",
    "uri": "/var/task/collector.yaml"
}

    "level": "warn",
    "ts": 1706941601.145583,

Hi @stevemao, were you able to find any solution for your issue? I am also facing the same issue. I am getting the same logs but no metrics are generated. I have also tested my code locally and it is working perfectly.
