Closed codeboten closed 5 months ago
In Python SIG, we discussed implementing something like Django settings.py for configuration but put it on hold since this idea surfaced. I will be glad to participate in this effort and help the group.
As mentioned on #1773 I am very interested in this topic and happy to participate. I will not be able to attend calls on Fridays, but hopefully there will be some means for asynch communication!
I'd like to sponsor this project as a TC member.
Added to calendar.

Thank you @dyladan!
@codeboten I'm interested in joining the working group and can help contribute a .NET prototype (probably will collaborate with @alanwest on it).
no-code configuration would be the requirement for the OpenTelemetry C++ to support dynamic loading of SDK. I can help in prototyping for C++ (though it is not mentioned as part of deliverables).
Does this project include configuration extendibility for vendor specific items? For instance, will Azure be able to configure Connection String and Lightstep configure their access token through this schema?
Closing as we have moved to project files and project boards as our way of defining and tracking projects.
Description
OpenTelemetry specifies code that can operate in a variety of ways based on the end-user’s desired mode of operation. This requires a configuration interface be provided to the user so they are able to communicate this information. Currently, OpenTelemetry specifies this interface in the form of environment variables. This environment variable interface is limited in the structure of information it can communicate and the primitives it can support.
The configuration project intends to produce the specification around the data model for language-agnostic configuration that provides additional flexibility for the end users.
